What we might need are these micro units, bring the rent for a small apartment down to the 200-300pw range in a good location. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/7933/beargold1ee8.jpg
I couldn't see the image, but I can visualise the size.
I think it is ridiculous - we have transformed our cities from house blocks where you could have a garden into postage stamp sized blocks where if services for some reason stop we will have anarchy or similar. Our homes have gone frome something desirable to little more than cheap holiday style cabins and now we are talking about going further - to something akin to a prison cell.
This is not quality of life - this is complete crap - the stuff of nightmare and poverty.
What the hell are we doing?
Why the hell do we want to live like breeding sows or caged chickens?
Why do we want smog filled traffic choked cities rather than clean air and country driving with gardens, grass and water?
Arrh, that's right - employment and quality of life.
What a bloody joke - live in the city and have costs through the roof, breathe crap air, drink chlorinated water and listen to shock jocks on the way to work jammed up in traffic....... Hmmmm,
