Just recently, I read an article about these Micro Compact Homes developed in Germany that take up 75 square feet and can house up to two people. Apparently, they were used as student housing at a university in Munich. They were so popular, the students who lived in them wanted to spend another year studying there. For more information, the links are below:

Considering the fact that apartments in San Francisco are ridiculously overpriced, I think having these Micro Compact Homes in the US would greatly benefit college students and business travelers. Since they take up little space, they should be inexpensive to rent. What are your opinions?

New homes in America are ridiculously large. at some point in time, they will have to reduce the size of new ones, only because of the population increasing, and running out of room.
But don't expect the rents to get cheaper. The larger places to stay will increase quicker.

Looks like a great idea. Might be a good idea to buy a thousand or so and stack them up outside of army bases.

a house that is 75sq.ft would be nice if it were about 60 ft high and could be laid on its side
