The apartment of New York Citys future, as the city imagines it, has all the amenities of modern life: wheelchair-accessible bathroom, a full kitchen, space for entertaining and access to a gym, communal lounge, front and back porches and a rooftop garden all in 250 to 370 square feet.

People will live in a bread box for about a minute until they realize they weren't cut out for the Navy.

I see a bunch of marketing pricks drafting new and exciting ways to package the age of diminishing returns as something progressive and chic to the public.
