Rachel Maddow lives in a 280 sq. ft. apartment.

[thereismore]

That's 16.7 ft x 16.7 ft area.

[DS1]

1. Paris Hilton is going to be sharing a 60 sq. ft. apartment

That's a 6 ft x 10 ft area.

6. i believe it when i see it

and trust me i want to see it

i just don't trust our justice system...

i do trust our monetary system and how it applies to our justice system

that is what i trust....

[evlbstrd]

2. Or 5 ft x 56 ft.

[SmokingJacket]

3. She must live in Manhattan.

There's some tight quarters there.

[crispini]

4. Manhattan, I take it.

Sounds big there!! :)

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. That's smaller than my living room.

Also my den.

I'd feel claustrophobic.

[fudge stripe cookays]

7. That's insane.

I almost lost it living in 405 13 years ago.

:scared:

[Nikia]

8. I had a single dorm room my junior and senior years of college

That was 11.6 X 11.6. Although it was nice and cozy at the time, I cannot imagine having to live in a space only a little bigger which include a bathroom and kitchen area.
I am guessing that she doesn't have people visit her at her apartment too often.

9. I lived in a smaller place when I was single.

Back when I thought I'd always be single my dream house would have been something about that big.

Sometimes I look at all my stuff and I remember very fondly when everything I owned, including my work tools, fit in my car with plenty of room for a passenger.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. My place is way smaller.

[Lex]

11. Dang, no room for me, then.

I :loveya: Rachel.

[Fox Mulder]

12. I'm a single guy living in a 1,000 sq ft townhome.

I can't imagine living in an area of 16.7 ft x 16.7 ft!

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I am single and live in a 1,200 SF condominium.

And still could use more closet space.

:scared:

There is no way I could live in 280 SF, unless I was incarcerated against my will. The spaciousness is one of the reasons I bought this place.

[bullwinkle428]

17. Yep...same situation here, in a 1020 sq. ft. condo! I do have to share

with a 6 lb. cat, but she's usually pretty tolerable most of the time. It's just a "flat", but that helps keep my energy bills low. Rachel's studio apartment must be one of those where the "shower" is literally just a hose and a drain next to the undersized "kitchen"...I couldn't even imagine.

[Fleshdancer]

13. she has to leave her apartment just to change her mind

Wow, that's too small for me to stay sane. :scared:

[Scooter24]

14. good grief.

I could only imagine the closet she must have. :scared:

[Arugula Latte]

15. Very small, by U.S. standards. On the other hand, think of how most of the world lives.

Four, five, six, seven or more people crammed into that kind of space is not uncommon around the world.

Yikes.
