The World’s Smallest Apartment Gets a Tenant

“Ever think about living in a cramped, windowless room with a wire roof? No, not like a battery cage chicken, more like, a 25-year old Chinese woman named Zhang Qi. Her insanely-tiny apartment is just 21 square-feet!

She’s the first to move into what the developer is calling a “capsule apartment” — and what we’re calling a “claustrophobe discrimination” lawsuit waiting to happen…

And yes, Zhang’s apartment has a chicken wire-like ceiling for air circulation since there are no windows. The space-deficient tenant says she enjoys living in her capsule apartment in Beijing. Go figure! “
