Interesting video.

Makes me wonder: if this is okay for a guy who's paying his own way, why not put the perpetually-on-subsidized-housing crowd in something similar? Could save a bunch of money for taxpayers.

I've heard of those mini-houses, but they're 200-400 square feet. I'd be claustrophobic in this guy's place!

Just think...if he was on welfare, he could be living in a 1500 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath with all the amenities. And he could sleep late every day. What's the upside to working in New York? THIS? I'll bet his girlfriend is thrilled.
