    In most of Europe these are illegal. A developer tried to run a loophole in Poland recently by building a huge block of these as 'hotel rooms', but then sold them as flats to buyers. They were below existing size requirements for actual residential properties. They instantly got their permit revoked and the city refuses to certify the build. It's been deemed a 'patho-development' (as in pathological development).

      Here in Germany a room under 10 qm is not even considered a full room, so you can only charge for half of the space of that room , same goes for rooms with a height lower than 1.5 m .Also in many citys here a cooking possibilty is legaly required and also a toilett and at least a shower.There are exeptions for that though, for very old buildings, that werent'builtl with individual toiletts in the first place. Germany even has regulatins around how hot your water must be from the shower after a certain amount of time.

    Well this made me feel better about the fact that I pay over AUD$1800 per month for a 4 bedroom house in a shitty suburb in outer Melbourne, Australia. I've lived in some pretty tiny but expensive inner-city places before I had kids, I really don't miss those days. Looking back, I don't even know why I wanted to live in the inner city. It's so loud and gross, and insanely overpriced for being squished into a shoebox. I left my last tiny inner city apartment (in Brisbane, Queensland) shortly after my oldest son was born. The final straw was coming home from the hospital with my newborn son to discover that a sex worker/drug dealer had set up shop in the entrance to our apartment building. That, and being able to hear my neighbours above, below, and on every side of us fart was the end for me.

      Australia is definitely becoming like New York very quickly. Since this person wrote this most rents went up at least 100 per week in the last 6 months. An hour away from Brisbane and I still pay $ 430 per week, for a shitty 3 bed house with no laundry and you can shake hands with the neighbours. I have possoms in the roof that fight all the time and ants that also live in another section of the roof and drop ant dirt and dead bodies all over my dining room and lounge becauseit comes throughthe cracks of the ceiling which is slatted wood like a timber floor. There's no man hole so no way to get any of them out, but it's still the cheapest rent I've seen so far. When I moved in the rent was only 290 per week. My daughter lives in a flat in inner city Brisbane and it's a single room that only fits a single bed ,with no kitchen or closet ,but it does have its own toilet and shower I guess and she pays about 80 dollars less than me, but because she can't afford even a little bit more she can't afford anywhere else as it's still the cheapest rent to be found. Australia is in the middle of a rental crisis and the number of homeless has grown dramatically over the last 12months especially, even people with good jobs are finding it hard. Where I am even so far from the city a 4 bed starts at 550 per week, it's ridiculous especially when the electricity has also been raised to stupid amounts. For 3 months electricity I now pay an average of 1200 per month. Whoever voted Labor in needs to be shot as it happens every time they get into power. I'm sure it's bound to get worse yet. 😢

      Same here! As a New Yorker myself who still lives at home I’m going to complain a lot less about my house and living situation until I make enough money to buy someplace in another state. To answer Layze’s questions, the New York life is not worth it. Not that I don’t enjoy myself here, which I do a lot. I like that there’s a lot to do, lots of places to hang out, and many people to meet, but it would be a lot better if it wasn’t noisy, smelly, and filled with trash and crazy people ready to push you off subway platforms. With that being said, I do love living in New York and there’s a lot of normal sized apartments here which I see my friends living in, but I believe it’s that fact that it’s three roommates in one apartment and that they have high paying jobs that makes it so. But yeah, try making most of living with your parents while you can. 😅

    Native New Yorker here and when it comes to Giant apartments (2-4 bedrooms) only two types of people have access to those choices. The super rich and the super poor. Rich people; well no duh! But get this the poor who have government benefits get large apartments too but only in terrible neighborhoods. Wherever the crime is very high, the apartments are big. These types of "government benefit poor folks" live in large apartments and they pay anywhere from $100-$500 in rent. This is especially true with Native New Yorker's who have the added benefit of living in apartments for decades plus low income benefits.

If it’s “trendy” and considered “cool” then it is likely to be gentrified and more safer. Still I would not recommend traveling much to The Bronx without company and better yet a fellow New Yorker. If you want to travel for museums and such go early in the day is best. Even when NYC was at its safer times late 90s- early to mid 2000s, the Bronx never saw much improvement.

      I pay $500 a month for a 3 bedroom house with a small yard in Pennsylvania lol. There's no way in hell I'd live in a city like New York and pay that much. I wouldn't live in a city no matter what though even if the rent wasn't so much. I'm 40 and lived in the same tiny town all my life until 2014. I now live in the suburbs on the outside of the small city that's next to my hometown. Majority of rent around here is less than $1000.

Some people have to live in cities for various reasons, mine is to maintain shared custody of my young child which is very important to me and worth the added expense. I will move to my house when she's older. Until then I will just use it as a year-round cottage. It's not a big deal. Not everyone is fortunate enough or even willing to move away from a city.

You can bet he would never do it though just us peasants. He openly said there wasn't enough people per house and followed it up by announcing that he's opening up immigration to an extra 1.2 million in the next few years. You think we've got a problem now wait till they start arriving. They have also discontinued almost all social housing but you can bet the immigrants will be given a place to live that's actually affordable. Thing are set to only get far worse yet. It's actually frightening the numbers of homeless are growing every day many who are full time workers and still can't afford it. They want us to live like the Chinese and are very open about it.

    When I was a student in Glasgow, Scotland I lived in bedsits, which were basically a bedroom in an old house where you shared the kitchen and bathroom. The room would have a bed, sink, wardrobe and chair. Sometimes you had your own kitchen which would be just a cooker in the room, with shelves for pots and dishes. They were small and but even they were bigger than most of these 'apartments'. They were cheap too.They could be pretty good for single people on low incomes. They were always cold though😮. Nothing wrong with living in a small space but some of these were just large cupboards.I do have anxiety and depression so the shared bathroom/kitchen was always a struggle but I couldn't afford to rent a one bedroom flat. In terms of space the rooms were a good size, and I was generally lucky with landlords. The neighbours were usually unemployed people and students. The only problem you got was loud music.As to the shared bathrooms, there was usually a bathroom for every three or four people, so waiting times were no worse than a family bathroom. As long ss you had a decent landlord they could be a good way to live cheaply in a lovely Victorian house.
    These apartments look badly designedand crammed in. They'd make you claustrophobic. I suppose most people are just sleeping in them.

    My very first apartment was in Nyack, NY (across the Hudson and maybe a 20-30 miles drive to be in NYC). This was 1978 and I was earning $5000/year and my reant was $90/month (owned by the college I was working for). I had a kitchen that I could touch two walls at the same time. The dining table was in this kitchen. I then had a living/bedrom room. My bathroom was>go out of my apartment, go down two steps>turn left>walk a bit and then turn right> walk straight and into a bathroom that I shared with 2 other apartments (all female). In one way, it was a bit worse for one girl. Her apartment was a kitchen/dining room, then go outside her kitchen walk past the bathroom and then into her bed/sitting room. The bathroom wasn't locked, but I think when she left one of her rooms she locked the doors. Crazy. I didn't last there very long and came back to get married and to move into a brand new 1000 sq. ft. ranch house with a basement, yards, kitchen, dining area, living room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Felt like a bit of luxury for sure. Our mortgage was a little over $400/month. Oh yes, one of my walls in my apartment had a big blurp coming out of the wall, sort of like the pregnant ceiling. Took them months before they came and fixed it.
    I have no idea why people live in NYC and spend that kind of money on apartments except they either want to be actors, or climb up some corporate ladder that will allow them to move to a different part of the country. Don't get me started on how rude customer service was.

    Randomly stumbling across this channel and now I'm a subscriber. I've been hooked and binge-watching your vids but still haven't caught up yet, I need more time to catch up but I wanna leave a positive comment so this is it.
    Love your sarcastic and telenovela dramatic humor/acting/editing, it feels like I'm having fun conversations with a friend, at least you remind me of some of my good old friends... Nice hair, fun presented personality and good looking, hilarious reactions and acting, I enjoy your contents.
    You mentioned you're interested in acting, and you like making youtube contents and there were times you had difficulty thinking about what topics/contents to make, so I'd like to suggest making short scenario comedy skits with your original characters. I've noticed it's quite popular, and those creators grow quite rapidly. I feel like it's what you would watching and creating too as those skits generally have sarcastic/ironic humor with dramatic acting and editing effects. eg: Cameron Geller, Trey Kennedy, TonyTalks, Andrew Rousso. Considering your sense of humor, maybe you'd like MacDoesIt's content too, although his contents are not comedy skits.
    Wish you luck, happiness and all the best, really hope to see your channel grow bigger because I believe you have potential and you're still underrated/in hidden gem era (in my opinion). 😸

      I live in nyc too and my bedroom is bigger than those studios. I still live with my parents. I knew the housing in nyc is bad but not shared bathrooms bad 😖. I live in Brooklyn and I plan on living here or Queens or maybe out of state when I have enough money. I’m never living in Manhattan, it’s too expensive. For now I’m not in a rush to move out anymore. I didn’t realize how fortunate I am.
