Just for reference, 70 sqm is about 750 sqft, where these are 200 sqft, or less than 20 sqm. These are absolutely not sufficient for a family with children, or likely even a single parent with a child.

Also, I live a 10 minute walk from this place, and pay 50% more for over 3 times the space, so they're not even that good of a deal.

I don't think they're going for that market directly.

The housing market is connected though, so interest in these, which may be limited to singles or couples without children, will remove some of the demand on larger units, such as yours, which can house children and families.
