Shocker
what exactly is an efficiency apt? smaller than a studio??
It’s an apartment that gets the job done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort.
I had this question as well. Google results just say that it features smaller appliances like maybe a half fridge. https://smallbusiness.chron.com/livework-unit-35188.html. I think it’s a great idea to have more of these options for housing. I remember how hard it was to be a college student and/or recent grad and had a unit like this once. The affordability helped me pay off debt and start savings.
I wish Elizabeth Warren had a plan for this. I know Dan Strauss doesn’t. The corporation that owns this property (KP Building LLC) has been dissolved, leaving the question of who is doing what here?
You seem terribly well informed.
Oh she’s got a plan alrighty. But first, just watch the History channel to see it’s already been tried, with terrible results. Why is it you want some old wealthy white woman from the east coast to rescue us?? We already have some 8 or 9 or her on our city council doing her work. Like those results, and why not?
The sun is SO over-rated. We don’t need no stinkin vitamin “D” after all. J wadding another kabbillion folks into an already crowded area will most definitely increase the quality of life for all. I have a brilliant idea; let’s defund the cops, while increasing density. Why is it old Joe doesn’t want people to have the ability to flee big cities???? Why would he use HUD to ensure cities grow and urban flight ends???? Just look it up.
HUD stands for Housing and Urban Development
