Gay Couple Pays $1850 Monthly For Micro Condo - The Size Of Walk-In Closet

For one, yes.... for two and cat, divorce.

There's status in living in downtown Toronto? It's hideous.

The one on the left has vegan body. Ew.

So where do you think they should live?

The whole tiny house thing is still in now, I guess?

I liked it. They can’t buy any material items. They can save money.

This is the generation that really got screwed by the Great Recession. They have huge student debt and they watched their parents lose their homes.

It looks like a nice space. Having a view and small balcony makes it feel more spacious than it is.

No duvet cover?

Yeah, maybe if it’s in HAWAII R9.

If we lived in a place like that I would go insane. Husband always has the damn TV on and I need to go to the bedroom to escape it from time to time.

As a single, I could totally do it. As a couple with an animal that shits inside your tiny space like these queens? Fuck that.

r5 I've heard Sebring, Florida is nice this time of year.

Nicer than one of those crappy NYC micro POS. At least it's new. I wonder what the building's amenities are...

Does it get warm enough in Toronto for a pool? Is there a gym?

Stupid is as stupid does.

Okay OP What size is your walk in closet?? That apartment is small, yes, but not closet-sized. It's basically like a motel room.

Also they're both cute and the accent makes them cuter.

Also, 82 views on youtube? OP how did you find this?

R11 I agree with you. I would never do laundry in that space.

Toronto sucks now.

They are cute as buttons,but theres NO WAY Id ever live in something that small with anyone. I wouldnt live in it alone,I need my space.

My bedroom is bigger than that whole apartment. I'd lose my mind in a place like that. But I guess young ones like those boys don't spend much time there, other than sleeping.

There was a hallway, I guess leading to the bathroom.

Their place was small but surely bigger than the average walk-in closet, unless you live in a McMansion and your walk-in closet is the size of an actual large room.

Moose Factory.

What a hell hole when one of them is sick with a cold or the flu and barfing and projectile diarreha-ing and wants some personal space.

"Honey, you sleep at Steamworks for the next week, m'kay?"

I thought it was cool..they must truly be in love though to share that...are they québécois ?

Def not french-canadian accents; more eastern european on one and maybe south american on the other I'm guessing.

[quote]This is the generation that really got screwed by the Great Recession.

Agreed, R8. I'm an older Millennial, and tiny houses and micro condos are often the best we can do. These guys seem proud of their place, and I wish them the best, but, yeah, that's a tight squeeze for the average couple.

Are they required to use micro-condoms as well?

I love those displays they have in IKEA with titles like "See what you can do with just 365 square feet!" The way they have things arranged is always quite clever and looks like it would be fun -- for about a week.

The bed is right beside the floor to ceiling windows .... cold winter nights ... awww, they have each other though.

I’m supposed to care? Wtf? I’ve got my own issues instead of wondering about them.

I can imagine my Wayne and I living there when we were 18 and 19, back in 1976. We were very close in the way that only young lovers can be.

Even more puzzling is that they're both bottoms.

Fine for 1 person. Or 2 people - if they had a cheap weekend cabin. Having lived out of hotel rooms for years when I travelled for work, you get used to it. You really don’t need much more. But 2 people living full time is gonna get old eventually.

Some guys get off on being “minimalists”...even think they’re superior for it.

Sad to watch

Poor kitty. That whole must smell like his cat box.

I meant whole place, but hole is fine too.

Yikes. Ghastly.

The cat box isn't terrible if you scoop twice a day and fling the results off the balcony into the street below.

I feel sorry for the cat. It never leaves the apartment; it's like living in a cage. Someday it will jump or fall off that balcony since it has no idea there is danger.

R39 It will know what it's doing when it 'falls' off the balcony.

Did they rescue Skarsgaard's rescue cat?

Where would someone keep their clothes? I have a walk-in closet that's completely filled with shirts, plus two more regular closets and five freestanding clothes racks, all filled. They live in a cold climate so that's at least 8 seasons of different clothes, multiplied by business vs several levels of casual plus the need for jackets, coats and sweaters. That's just tops, so space would also be needed for pants, underwear, sleepwear and loungewear.

You brought this on yourselves by voting leftist.

For me alone it would be perfect. I am a lazy fuck and hate to clean. It probably takes ten minutes to clean the whole thing since you can't make much of a mess in the first place (with just a couple of things out of place you probably can't move as freely as you want).

I imagine they hear neighbors speaking and toilets flushing all around them.

Millions of people in Japan and Hong Kong live in smaller places than that and pay twice that in rent.

Honey R42, you have too many clothes.

R24 Both definitely sound Quebecois, which means speaking French the French ridicule here transmuted into English.

Is that $1850 Canadian? If so, it's about $1400 USD which, for a micro-apartment downtown in comparable US cities would be a steal. Especially because it's a new-build with a balcony and nice appliances.

OTOH, my bar is bigger than their kitchen. And my kitchen is bigger than their apartment.

I live in their building! I've seen them before, Queen street is expensive....it's trendy and everything at your doorstep, however, my mortgage is only $500 more a month and I have 2 bedrooms and 1 and 1/2 baths in the same building

What a fucking waste of money! People are weird.

Erwan is a native Parisian according to this article.

I lived in 435 sq ft with my partner and two small dogs during grad school. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I ended up taking my dogs for a lot more walks and enjoying the outdoors more than usual. I also went to the gym regularly. I became more of a minimalist realizing I didn't need anything I was storing in an expensive storage facility. I don't know if I could do it in Toronto though. The cold weather might force me indoors.

Have they broken up yet? I give it two more weeks.

R3 is fat. Very, very fat.

Americans are spoiled. It’s all a matter of what you are used to. I’ve lived in 400 square feet for 30 years. More than adequate. You learn not to buy or keep a lot of things. Forced Kondo living. Very freeing. I know families of 4 who live in the same space as I do - which would be tough. But for me, it’s perfect.

r43 eat shit

Living by yourself in a small space is very different than living with someone else in a small space. It is kind of weird that most of you are not bothered by the large price for the small place. No wonder your employers can rob you blind, you're stupid.

No threesomes for these fellas

R42 is an extreme hoarder.

Two bottoms.

r3 eat a dick dumb shit

Yeah R42 - you really need to look at your shopping/hoarding issues. That’s not normal. Most people would not want that much stuff.

85 degrees today, sunny and paying nothing like $1800. dollars a month in 9th circle of...

r60 fuck off miss priss. stop your bottom shaming. we'll make sure you never sink your micropeen into that sweet stuff again.

Cute couple

Also keep in mind that’s $1400 in US dollars.

That thing's not worth more than $300 a month.

[quote]you really need to look at your shopping/hoarding issues. That’s not normal. Most people would not want that much stuff.

I don't want that many clothes. My lament is that being in a Northern climate, you have to have so many sets of clothes for each of the seasons and the in-between seasons. You can't wear any of your short sleeved shirts during the winter, for example. Just the difference between wam and cold doubles your need, and then it multiplies from there. You can't wear what you would wear in Autumn during the Spring, even if the temperature were the same. I tell my relatives who live in a warm climate that they are lucky not to need so many sets of clothes plus different weight of coats and jackets.

[QUOTE]85 degrees today, sunny and paying nothing like $1800. dollars a month in 9th circle of...

Where do you live?

I have 3 closets in 440 square feet. Plus 2 large sets of drawers - stores all I need. Winter is really 4-4 sweaters, some thin long sleeve shirts and 2-3 jackets. Which is 1/2 closet. (Though 10 foot ceilings)

Where does one fart in that condo?

Toronto has become so ridiculously expensive. It's unaffordable.

And it's become such a horrible city. Nasty people, unfriendly, lots of rage.

R72 It's funny that they more 'multicultural' cities become (I'm talking about migrants), the more unfriendly they become.

Toronto used to be relatively cheap. What happened?

My friends lived in Soho, London and their flat was like that, cost them £2000 pm.

I wonder if the Toronto guys know Jett Black?

R63 85 degrees in February doesn't sound pleasant to me. It's not even Spring yet.

Nude photo presenting holes?

Where do they shit?

I would go insane living with another person in that space, no matter how much I loved him.

Fart in hall by the guy with gigolos

What do they do if one makes the other cry?

925 per person or 231.25 per week per person or 33 per day per person.

I'm not sure what happened to Toronto. When I first moved here in 2001, it was very affordable. It seems in the last 5 years, the prices have just increased heavily.

Why would anyone want to live in Toronto in the first place?!!?!?!

r84 The feeling is mutual.

I think they're suitable for 1 not 2.

R83 Yeah, I've lived in Toronto for over 25 years. It's a city for the super-rich now, with some of the worst urban planning I've ever seen. I can't wait to leave.
