Little kitchenette on right, two burners and a microwave. The President is a fink. |

http://ny.curbed.com/archives/2015/12/18/inside_the_surprisingly_spacious_model_unit_at_nycs_first_micro_building.php  You can't expect much kitchen for $3K / month. I always think of three stooges when I think of Murphy Beds, but here is Bud Abbott  |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25127 | I had a Murphy bed in an apartment in Calif and really liked it. You never have to make it up, just shove it up in it's box. How desperate do you have to be to live in a shitty city like NYC that you have to pay 36K a year to live in a walk in closet. The couple times I've been there I couldn't wait to leave. It makes me claustrophobic with all the tall buildings and the traffic and people everywhere. Plus everybody is in a constant bad mood. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There is something crazy about it all. I can see if you work on Wall Street or at Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce and your industry demands it. But in general I think part of the problem with the city is it attracts all of the "socializer" personalities who just have to be with the hip crowd. So it throws off the balance of society and gives you a city with too many attention whores.  The President is a fink. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25127 | I knew a woman 20 years ago who never cooked and used the oven for storage. It looked stupid then, it looks stupid now. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 54 Posts: 5297 | I think I could have lived in that when I was in my early 20's. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 192 Posts: 19688 | It's not the size or location that would bother me. Neighbors. If they're quiet great. If not, sucks. Bad thing about most apartment living. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| JOSEPH2 Member since: Sep 13, 2024 Threads: 0 Posts: 3 | Micro apartments in NYC are an innovative solution to the city's housing crisis, offering compact yet functional living spaces for those looking to maximize city living on a budget. These smaller units are perfect for single professionals or minimalists who want to enjoy urban life without the high costs of larger apartments. However, the limited space can be a challenge for some. Finding the right balance between affordability and comfort in micro apartments can make a big difference in the NY Rent Own Sell market. |
