Self-storage is quite an interesting phenomenon. The total self storage rentable space in the US is now 2.3 billion square feet.[1] That's enough space for every American to have over 7 square feet in which to stand. In fact, that's probably enough to lay down.

To be sure, a lot of other men and women got rich before the storage men, in order for us to have more stuff than will fit in our houses.
