175 square feet. 10 feet wide. $150,000! HOLY SHIT!

Fuck me sideways.

If you have an active lifestyle and really just need a place to sleep and wake in the morning that's the perfect place.

Oh and 150k for an apartment in Morningside Heights is a bargain.

I hate New York. Too many trees, too much green, and everything is going up or down a hill.

I've lived in a place about that size, maybe smaller, before. A couple places, actually. And a friend of mine had a place that was definitely smaller that she called home.

I kinda miss living like that.

It's times like this I look at my 2,000-square foot, split-entry house in Minnesota we bought for $189,000 and ask all the New Yorkers, "and WE'RE the rubes?!?"

I'm amazed with the two cats. The place must smell like a litter box.

Yeah, yuck.

No thanks! If I lived by myself, it wouldn't be too bad, but 2 people and 2 animals? Living in NY can't be that great.

You can buy at least a 2500 sq ft home around here for that kind of money. Jeez. Whatever, it's their dough.

To which they say, "Yes, you live in Minnesota!" :D

Seriously, though, I can't imagine why anyone would buy a place in Manhattan.

I can barely understand why my friends in Manhattan rent there. They pay three times the amount for half the space that I have in Jersey, and it takes me less time to get to the lower half of the city than it takes them.

I actually have seen worse houses in my city.

No, I'm talking about towns in the Lancaster area that Chaz mentioned. Southeastern PA is like that. Blue Ball, Intercourse, Virginville, all within about 5 miles.

When I worked for a phone company we had a bunch of clients in Blue Ball and Intercourse. Isn't there an big amish community in that area? We had one phone that was literally the only emergency phone in this amish community.

If you read the article, you'd know they change the literbox daily.

I skimmed.

We clean the box all the time too. If they have male cats, they sometimes INTENTIONALLY don't cover their poop and pee to show their dominance. Hard to get away from that in the closet they are living in.

Touche. :p

But even Brooklyn (Park Slope aside) is substantially cheaper than Manhattan, and not necessarily any farther depending on where you're going.

If I had the money I'd live in Manhattan. There's always something to do down there.

I would love to see their parties. It reminds me of an episode of Flight of the Conchords. :D

Well, it is, but I didn't want to engender any jealousy at my huge noggin. It is truly spectacular.

With some more shelves and a built loft over the bed, that place really isn't all that bad. They could even stick a stand up closet next to the bed there. It's kind of dumb that they do use a fold out couch though.

The place is really meant for a single 20 something yuppie though.

Compared to some of the shoe boxes people buy/rent in very crowded cities in Asia, this place is a palace.

All I can think of is the Waverly Hills episode of the Simpsons after seeing that apartment.

I doubt it is truly the smallest apartment. It is likely the smallest for the price, or the cleanest apartment of that size.

My first thought was of the Elwood's apartment in Blues Brothers.

It's too small for that.

Man, if only that article mentioned that it used to be part of nine maid's quarters in the prewar building, which where turned into two apartments and this one got left out because nine is an odd number. Probably would have been on the second page.

When I lived in St Paul I lived in a tiny apartment probably close to that size.

It had a huge closet that fit my full size bed perfectly, but there was not room on the sides and all my clothes were either hanging above me or underneath the bed. Rest of it was one room. The stove was only a half stove and couldn't even fit a large frozen pizza. I think it was some kind of old institution or something. It had a small door in the kitchen area just big enough to fit a plate of food. It was screwed shut from the inside, so you couldn't use it. I didn't care, it was cheap.

My apartment is 2 cubic meters. We take up 1.5 cubic meters. We got room for 2/3rd of another person in there!
