So how exactly is Obama going to force you to move to Manhattan? Or is he just gonna turn Kansas City into another Manhattan and force you to live there? Though it would make more sense to just force you to move to Manhattan since it is already there.
All that you had to do was watch the video to answer that.
NEW YORK — Maybe it's the urban dwelling of the future: studio apartments measuring no more than 300 square feet.
New York City planners believe the tiny units could be the answer to a growing population of singles and two-person households. And in a nation that's becoming increasingly populous and increasingly urbanized – and where people more frequently are creating a family of one – such downsizing may not stop here.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Monday invited developers to propose ways to turn a Manhattan lot into an apartment building filled mostly with what officials are calling "micro-units" – dwellings complete with a bathroom, built-in kitchenette and enough space for a careful planner to use a fold-out bed as both sleeping space and living room.
If the pilot program is successful, officials could ultimately overturn a requirement established in 1987 that new apartments here be at least 400 square feet. NYC Apartments To Get Smaller In Size, Bloomberg Asks For 'Micro-Apartments'
That's very, very different from "NY is banning apartment larger than 500 sq feet".
I see you're intimately acquainted with hyperbole and exaggeration.
That's why many don't take you seriously. Banning large aparments, indeed!
All that you had to do was watch the video to answer that.
I did watch the video and I couldn't stop laughing at that idiot and the idiot host who kept trying to spoon feed their willing audience full of their garbage. The man had no facts to base anything on, except for pure paranoia.
Same goes for you. You want to ignore reality and resort to insults........the liberal creed.
What "reality?".
YOU are the one who sees an article that ALLOWS the building of smaller apartments and somehow thinks that MEANS that folks are going to be FORCED into smaller apartments.
Only in the bat-sh*t crazy world of the wingnuts is the FREEDOM to build smaller units somehow FORCING something on ANYONE and somehow TAKING FREEDOM AWAY.
NO ONE is being FORCED to do ANYTHING. Builders are simply being ALLOWED MORE FREEDOM to build units that are smaller than currently allowed. IF those smaller units prove popular then builders will build them, if not, they won't - you know? - LET THE MARKETPLACE DECIDE.
Geeze!
