    While they are a minority -”only” 20% live in houses smaller than 200 sq ft- the footprint each Hong Kong citizen has is suffocatingly small. Half of the citizens live in a home between 30 and 40 square meters (320-430 sqft).

Insane. Mind if I share your blog on facebook?

EDIT: to answer the question, I could easily live in an apodment. All I need is a mattress, a tiny kitchen and my laptop. Books could go in the trunk of my car, clothes hung from the ceiling ... hell I could live in a van no problem if I didn't like to cook so much.

By all means, share it! It really is insane. The weirdest thing I saw were people hanging their washed clothes on a stick out their window - on the twentieth floor. Not even having room to hang your clothes to dry.

Almost every country in the world except America does this I imagine. I love it. Makes sense spatially and adds tons of interest to apartment buildings in Europe.

Yeah, I see it happen often enough, but not 200ft in the air!
