Florida architect Sergio Santos is riding out the recession in his new $150/month, 77 sq/ft closet-turned-apartment. Santos invested $64 to convert the closet into an apartment using found materials. WDSU | Photos (thanks ovalle)
Just so long as he doesn't make a living disparaging other people and their lifestyle choices, its really none of our business and nobody should make him move out of the closet.
i find the article a little deceiving - not every square inch of that thing is used. maybe for $64 it's maximized, but lots of potential storage in that thing...
As a result of current recession, architects loose jobs/live in closets, but bankers and their buddies get fat bonuses. And do not forget, architects are also great waiters! Well done Sergio, and hang in there.

I love the descriptors news programs put under people's names.

maybe he didn't think it'd feel as spacious if he used every inch, holz.
but does he get laid?
(probably not)
