Why do you need so much space? To buy more crap you'll never use and can't figure out how to dump? I hope this is a new trend and we go back to living in little craftsman houses. You're destroying the earth living in your energy inefficient McMansion.
250 sq feet is luxury size compared to Tokyo apartment!

FlipofftheFlipper, it sounds like you're being facetious, but yes, 21 m^2 (6 tatami mats) is a standard apartment size for a single person in Tokyo.
The rent on such a place is usually in the $500-600 range, so young professionals making $20-30k can afford it easily. I bet there are a lot of San Franciscans who would happily endure a small apartment if they could have cheap rent!

If you walk in the much older SF apartments from the 20s, 30s and 40s you would find equally sized homes...

This pigeon hole isnt even going to be worth 97K at the end...

What does $279k buy you in San Francisco
A 250 square feet condo. Buy now before you're priced out forever!

I believe the design of the Cubix was inspired by this recently posted picture:
