Take a page from Japan and construct those really small apartments that are so popular.
Ququri studio apartments offer just 4.64 square meters (49.94 square feet) of usable floor space, but with prices this low, it’s all some people need.

Japanese real estate company Spilytus manages the Ququri line of apartments, and even in Japan, it’s hard to find a much cozier room than these. Like most apartments in Japan, Ququri’s units are measured in jo, a traditional Japanese unit of area that’s equal to the size of one tatami mat. Ququri’s apartments all offer just three jo of studio room floor space, which works out to 4.64 square meters (49.94 square feet).
Another advantage is the low cost. Depending on the exact location, Ququri rent can be as low as 50,000 yen (US$455) a month, and even in its pricier neighborhoods, it’s only around 80,000 yen or so. Then there’s the fact that Ququri doesn’t charge any key money or deposit, pre-move-in fees that can easily cost as much as four months’ rent at many apartments in Japan. There’s also no lease renewal fee (which in Japan is usually equal to a full month’s rent, paid once every two years). Oh, and Internet service is provided free of charge.
you then?
