Depends on how you live. I am a east coast city person through and through, so it might be my bias, but these rooms seem not all that terrible.

Raising kids, living with a significant other, sure. You need space in those. But for a post-grad getting started who isn't a homebody and mostly just needs a place to sleep and store food, I don't see why they'd need to reaccess their life.

Yeah, I'm coming from the perspective of someone who spent much of their early life on the east coast. At that point in my life my apartment was just that place I crashed after partying. I hung out, ate, and generally lived elsewhere throughout the city.

These days my life has changed and my apartment is more of a place that I wind down after work. I would not consider living in these places now, but in my past? Absolutely.
