I doubt that it is transitory

It is a predictable consequence of the grotesque income inequality in this country

More and more people will continue to get by on less and less until that situation is effectively addressed

I like the micro trend, but wonder if it has mass. I just don't see people living like that long term; I think it's a great solution for a transitional time in a persons life. So... hope they don't over build.

I worry about that issue as well as that they may become the rooming houses of the past that over time slowly run down.

The micro trend is fine, but IMO city planners need to know what size humans need to be comfortable.

I have sold real estate for over 20 years and my experience tells me a person needs a certain amount of space psychologically. I would put a minimum of 400 sq feet for an efficiency, 500 one bedroom and 600 for two bedroom. 150 is too small.
