In Defense of Micro-Apartments [CityLab.com]
It’s like Yoda once said: “Size matters not.” Put aside for the moment the size of the units in Carmel Place , a new multifamily housing development that just went up in New York City. Here are a few numbers that matter more than the square footage: Carmel Place is a nine-story development that includes 55 units. Of those, 33 units are designated market-rate; eight of the 22 units slotted for affordable housing are reserved for very-low-income renters. Sounds good, right?
