I'm not negating the benefits here. But this answer is to a problem created by the very people providing the answer, except it only truly benefits the causes. Millions of empty homes, owned as investment properties by these firms. They're causing the housing market deficit, and are now providing a "generous" 150sqft closet for $850us per month.

It's that scaling distotion on the two side-by-side plans that does it for me.
These shoeboxes come with some magical feng-shui thing that makes 20ft appear to be the same as 30ft.
