Topic Reading-Vol.195-10/23/2012

Dear MEL School's Topic Readers,
To Shrink Rents, S.F. Considers Shrinking Apartments.
For most Americans, 220 square feet, or about 20 square meters, studio apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, closet, and a living area about the size of a cruise-ship cabin is a shrink, which, for most Japanese or at least residents in Tokyo, is a totally acceptable size.
The city is considering reducing the minimum size requirement for studios in order to provide more affordable renting options, whose average rent for studio is around $2,000.
Enjoy reading the text and comments from their readers and listeners about the size.
(By the way, the of the studio in the illustration is 290 sq, about 27 square meters.)
