I feel like something like this only makes sense if you are someplace like New York, San Francisco or Paris. Not because property is so crazy expensive there but because you are in the midst of a density of people, places and things, so that makes it make sense to densify the interior of your home.

I'm not sure I can articulate it effectively, but I have looked at such furniture online and that's my tentative hypothesis.

Yeah that's just it; I would have loved a tiny apartment with clever things like this ten ish years ago after I had just moved out, but only if it was affordable (<€500 a month at the time). Nowadays I live in a 'normal' house (two bedrooms, ~90-100 square meters) and I much prefer it.

Tiny houses, apartments, single room places are a compromise. Some people really insist on living in a city, which is fair enough for them. Some people compromise to do so. I for one am happy to live outside of the cities in a normal size house with a bit of outdoor space. Long-term plan is to move to a bigger place, even further away from the cities (I live in a suburb at the moment).

San Fran struck me as not very dense when I visited.

[andbberger]

it is in fact the second densest large city in the US

You must be taking some weird specifics here. Nothing I can see lists San Fran as second densest.

Not really, I meant exactly what I said. It is the second densest large (> 100k) city (city proper, not metro area).

Not that specific

[soperj]

even in that regard it's third after New York City, and Paterson New Jersey.

Sure, still much higher than one might think from walking around. Certainly surprised me

More a testament to the ubiquity of sprawl in the states than anything I think
