I gotta be honest... at those sizes, I'd rather move away from Tokyo and face the commute. xD
But I'm not opposed to small apartment living... quite the opposite, I'm opposed to huge houses.
Just that my comfort zone seems to be at least 4 to 7x that area space. xD
And that's considering I grew up in a pretty big house with pretty big lawn space...
I still couldn't handle living in such a cramped space because I wouldn't be able to keep some of my hobbies that do occupy some space, so I'd need a separate storage or office area, which I dunno if it'd make much sense renting two difference places rather than just renting a single bigger place.
Then again, if I was working full time and didn't have the time for most of my hobbies anyways, I guess this factor wouldn't matter much. Just a place to crash, that are is good enough.
Speaking of which, I have a semi-related question. I know people with very low budget and some extreme situations will end up practically living in manga cafes, extremely tiny apartments that can be even tighter than what Greg has shown, and some other... hmm... interesting adapted stuff.
Is it common though for those tiny executive hotels to rent rooms for monthly living and stuff like that? Or this isn't allowed? I know there are share houses in Japan which are pretty common for foreigners living there. But there seems to be always be a separation between residential living space and spaces dedicated for tourism.
I'm saying this because it's kinda common practice here where I live for small local hotels to alternatively rent room in a monthly regimen. Big hotel chains won't do it, but small local hotels often do.
