Portland, Oregon faces a huge housing crisis. To avoid people becoming homeless, authorities recently allowed small apartment buildings. Look at how some folks are reacting (lemmy.world)

Lol the guy complaining about an 800 square feet apartment. That’s 74 square meters and as big as our neighbors apartment who are a couple with a kid. Not luxurious but here in Germany that’s average middle class.

Our apartment complex also doesn’t have parking but walkable access to three tram lines and another three bus lines, so it’s not a huge deal at all but I guess you won’t have that access in Portland.

Oh my god, I’m in a place with just over half (40 sqm) that as usable space (there’s also storage) with my husband and a cat. It’s not great, but it’s fine.
