Leasing Begins for New York’s First Micro-Apartments

Meaning you consider it a medium sized studio?

There's tons of apartments in Tokyo that are < 20m^2. In fact I did a quick search, didn't even filter by size, first page of hits is 14, 14, 39, 10, 14, 15, 15, 15, 15, 14, 13, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 15, 15, 15, 15

Here's one of the 7.5 ones http://www.chintai.net/detail/bk-C01005807000000000000025000...

at least it's only about $500 a month and it's actually downtown.

Also Hong Kong.

Note: As someone that grew up in a ~100m^2 house I desire a similar space but having spent 6 years in a 28m^2 studio and having visited a few families in Tokyo and HK crammed into tiny spaces I sometimes wonder how spoiled I am.

Yes, I would say medium sized. I lived in studios from 20 to 30 m^2 and I thought I had plenty of space. I had friends living in 12 m^2 in Paris.
