Parisian here, this is pretty extreme but not far from truth. 1200€ for a 20m2 (meter system ftw) is common.
GalacticCrunch
Too much of a homebody to do this. Better for people who spend most of their time outside their apartment and are only there to eat & sleep.

As an engineer, I am jizzing over the efficient use of space hnngg

Why and where would someone live like this? Are there not nice cheap homes with trees, toilets, and other things cheaper?
kelleykakes
Why??
DoctorDumpster
What a fucking nightmare that would be.
Markuseous
It's a closet. You live in a closet.
camcam1234
This is disgusting, no one should have to live in such confined space.
TheElusiveEnchilada
But where is the kitchen where you can actually cook food?
SamTyler
To be fair, it's Paris so that's not a major problem.
TheReaperSeesAll
Looks like a great place if all I did was fuckin read.

This just added a new bullet to my bucket list. Take a shower on a toilet.

Charter a boat for a vacation sometime, a few have the same setup, as do RV's but a boat makes a cool vacation.

That shit is claustrophobic af! Who would read like that. Nice bathroom though - bigger than most ones in Copenhagen

Why don't we make apartments like this in american cities (other than the mega cities like NY) an apartment building full of these1/2
Ishalldefenestrateyou
We have a lot of real estate, making space cheap. We are used to space, and would feel uncomfortable in a place the size of an avg. bedroom.
RadishIsAMeat
Americans can't handle small properties, a lot of apartments in London are like the above video. My brother lives in NY in a "small" appt.
kevinallover
Check Apartment Therapy Small Cool, teeny-tiny division. They exist.
StrawberryPrincess92
would be so cheap per apartment and net the same money to the company. it would solve the housing problem
perseco
Wouldn't change the price that much. Still gotta cover maintenance costs for all of those additional apartments, not to mention utilities.
IWasInThePool
Because they are usually illegal to build that small. Cities either put minimum sq.ft. reqs on apartments, or individual rooms.
JumpingJimmie
Yep, zoning regulations. Plus, they mandate 2 or 2 1/2 parking spaces per unit. Low rents are not a priority for the regulators.
LionOfRome
Bruh, those bookshelves aren't big enough. Moar books.
Whitetiger7654
Seriously though what moron buys an 86 sq foot apartment and fills half of it with books? Get all that crap digital.
JustALullabi
That! And on a sidenote: why would you ever want to put your books right above your boiler?!?!?!?!?!

100 sq ft apartments NYC go for $1100-$1500, the worst however is probably Hong Kong only 4sq ft for $150 http://imgur.com/WpuyInO

ALittleHurricane
I liked everything except the bathroom. I want to feel clean showering. The shitter right there doesn't welcome that feeling.
InternationalPhoneticAlphabet
shitter next to the shower is completely normal.
NivalisAngelus
I think with a regular shower it'd probably be cleaner than your typical bathroom, what with all the feces particles normally around.
ALittleHurricane
Good point
NivalisAngelus
Can't say you'd FEEL any cleaner, but I mean even showers get real nasty on their own if not cleaned often.
skarnlonewolf
Its illegal in France. this one is under 8 sq meters. minimum should be 9 sq meters of the main room without counting bathroom kitchen etc..
gitared
Illegal but people still rent them because people are desperate to find an appartment in the city center.
brianclementsvatua
You don't have to rent one out but you can own one and live in it.
therpsichore
Illegal to rent as a living space but not illegal to own.
cleverbeans
You can tell because the French are lovers and there isn't enough room to fuck in that bed.

Here in the states we just call that a dorm room. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shit dude, my dorm was probably twice or thrice the size of that. No bathroom though. Had to do the communal thing

we didn't get our own bathroom! Had to share with 3 other girls

I had to share with 50 if them.

All sorts of closet space. The kids will be fine.

NYC be like: "That'll be $2500 monthly"
SoDoneWithYourShite
Thats cute, London be like "That'd be £2000 plus 4 months prepayments, plus 1k deposit, plus guarantor and references"
drimago
don't forget about the 2500£ council tax
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Adorable, San Francisco be like, "Heyyy mannnnn... That'll be $3000, plus first mo, last mo, 2 mo security deposit and another $300 to park
PieEaterer
In London they'd charge you to park if there actually was anywhere to park. Having a car in London is only for the insanely rich.
JaneCalamityJane
Get a Kindle and she'd have 50% more closet space.
bluesPepper25
I agree she is wasting so much space. Change the closets. Add a Murphy bed and add a folding out table. The sliding uses too much space.
lospaturno
Wrong door, shat in wardrobe.
justwatching
The very tall ceiling makes the square foot measurement less meaningful.
Theried
Yeah, try to fit all that stuff in a room with an 8 foot ceiling, definitely wouldn't work.
middlehead
Height would affect cubic feet, not square.
mallywanders
The point is what you can fit into a space is dependent on cubic feet, not just sq feet. Apparently Paris has laws on minimum cubic meters
mallywanders
For an apt to be rentable
Omega156
yes, but average height ceilings would make it harder to get this without looking far more cramped.

Poop and show at the same time! Where do I sign up?

bananagement
It is common in Asia, in my experience, to have a tiled bathroom containing showerhead, drain, and toilet.
linkshacker89
I did this, in Paris funny enough. It really cuts down on prep time in the am, which was fortunate because we were perpetually hungover.
stillsearchingformycostello
Lovely to meet you, Mr. Fitzgerald.
happyishturtle
Doesn't water get into the bowl and flood it?
TastyTastyScience
Does the water level in the bowl rise when you pee? No, it doesn't.
linkshacker89
Nah, you sort of hunch over and the shower runs down your back and then off the sides. It really is pretty relaxing, imo
ShroomMartha
I think we would get along very well
linkshacker89
I think I'm loads of fun at parties.
Bryanv95
There's a curtain so that doesn't happen
FatherofRogerSimon10
Also you fill a toilet bowl it will actually flush so if the power goes out and you need to use the toilet more than once dump in some h20
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
does your toilet requires electricity
FatherofRogerSimon10
Power runs the water to the tank that's why you can use whatever is in the line but no more
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
No, but the pumps supplying its water do
happyishturtle
Yeah that's why a lot of cabins off the power grid have outhouses
ProductivityCanSuckIt
Could have had some extra space if they got rid of the toilet and put a garbage disposal in the shower drain.
Ryebread91
I'm just excited I can do both at the same time.

if under 9m² can't be rented but can be owned. Still payed through the nose depending on where.
ImgurPoof
There is a small shed in my town that sold for almost 2 million.

Or 1500 €

In Tokyo it would be roughly ¥600-800 depending on the area.

They pay you?! Sign me up.

Dang, was about to make that joke.

And you're only within earshot of 73 different neighbors.

Well, if it pays $1600 a month, I take it.

As somebody from Boston- I'd totally pay $1600/month for that place

Its even worse in central London.

HAHAHAHA I rented a 1500sq foot house in Columbus Ohio for $1300
iliketurtlez
Still less than Seattle.
wormoid
Right?! I'm at 1300 for 'income restricted' in Belltown!
iliketurtlez
Yeah, we make too much for low income but not enough to buy a house w/in a 3 hour drive of downtwn. Fucking stupid.
yepitsjen
I'm in a owner rent controlled building in Ballard. 1350 for 2 bedrooms, 950 sgft.
slamnfreak
Our house rent went up 4 times in as many years. Finally decided to purchase a home and saved money.

Lol why?! That's insane. It's not that great a place to live, not for that price
thirdworldrepresent
From what I've the property insurances in San Francisco is damn high because it's prone to earthquakes. Not sure though
DidItForScience
I suppose it's worth it if you make boatloads of money and live near work in some super fancy ass place and do lots of stuff in town.
AdonisFeeltheThunder
Ya all those but still sucks bad
boomer0001
There's an apartment that's for real like 100sq ft in NYC and the chick pays $2k/month for it

well fuck me, right?

I know someone in NYC rented a wall to divide an apt for $200 per month. The wall was $200

Jesus, where the fuck is it? My cousin pays less for triple that size and he's on the upper east side

brianclementsvatua
Probably 500 to 600 euros monthly.
KirschPunkt
Well, it is Paris. So it will not be too cheap, although they are trying to lower the prices.
Deathfrombelow
Even at the exchange rate, it's less expensive than places in the SF Bay Area.
WhippyCleric
prob around 600 euros nowerdays,
thisistoomuch
Not for rent. Video's description says it's theirs and will be used by their 'au pair' nanny - which means it's basically a maid's room.
beeboooo
I always never understood why a building in New York doesnt do this. They could cut rooms and rent so much more at a small amount. $$$

Check Craigslist. There's a building on St Marks that advertises these constantly for over a grand. Silly transplants probably all over it.

Becouse people are willing to rent bigger more expinsive rooms so why pay to build smaller more affordable rooms instead of use what you got
SillyZombie
Higher density is always more profitable
SillyZombie
Zoning regulations
CziltangBrone
There's also the fact that people are assholes to deal with, so fewer tenants in bigger apartments is less trouble than many smaller ones.
SillyZombie
That is almost never a factor when doing a spreadsheet. I have no column for that...
