The scaling down of apartment sizes segment in the video posted below made me loose some respect for Morning News NOW - their analyst guest said that smaller apartment sizes were due to "Consumer Demand"... sure, if you eliminate the coercive influences of the rest of the economy (especially the financials) then yeah people don't have the money to rent a comfortable sized apartment so in Economic lingo they "Demand" smaller thus less costly apartments (or in NYC, what some people used to call 'walk-in closets). As for "they want shared laundry facilities - OF COURSE... who wouldn't want to have their clothes washed in the same machines as cigarette smokers, cheap artificial soaps, pet hairs and odors, etc... right
Lastly, NYC apartments getting bigger in size? Does anybody remember that renters where abandoning NYC? That wasn't mentioned as a cause of increasing apartment sizes. Bringing that NYC apt. sizes up without mentioning the exodus from NYC that happened the previous 2 or 3 years is just a way of muddling the real economic logic - hey boys and girls it's just arbitrary consumer choices 

So really, that "news" segment it seems is just Propaganda for Smooth Brain consumers, building code regulators, and the investors that profit off of them.
