On Facebook, Strong Towns asked again "would you live in 400 sqft", getting comments like "yes", "no", "400 square feet without a roommate may be possible", "900 sqft is too small" (for an apparently single person).
I've lived in various small places, even before Airbnb life. But here's some math:
10x12 ft bedroom, 120 sqft. 3x10 walk-in closet, 30 sqft. 10x12 living/dining room, 120 sqft. 6x10 kitchen, 60 sqft. 6x6 bathroom, 36 sqft. Total 366 sqft, leaving 34 extra -- another closet, a laundry nook, a vestibule, more space in one of the other rooms, etc.
Not *huge*, but nothing there feels too cramped. My current bathroom is maybe 33 sqft and feels fine, some more room would be nice but there's a bathtub and I'm not folding myself like origami. My kitchen is about that size and is fine. The bedroom would easily take a twin bed and door-sized desk, or less easily a queen bed and same desk.
