Agenda 21 is heating up in Austin, Texas, as “Professor Dumpster” rolls out his plans for ultra-compact living, which comes in the form of stackable apartments that can be relocated to other cities where similar models exist.
By “ultra-compact,” we mean a maximum of 200 square feet of living space, with just enough room for a tiny bathroom, kitchen, washer and dryer, and a sofa that converts into a queen-sized bed, according to KEYE TV.
Professor Dumpster, aka Jeff Wilson, an environmental science teacher at Huston-Tillotson University, developed the concept after converting a 32-square-foot dumpster into a home and living there for one year.
The “prefabricated stackable apartments” will be plopped on vacant parking lots in downtown Austin, carrying a price tag of about $600 a month — “less than half the cost of many studio apartments” downtown, reports KEYE TV.
However, that claim is debatable if we consider the fact that $600/month for a 200-square-foot apartment equals about $3 per square feet — an amount more than double what some studio and regular-sized apartments cost in Central Austin. For example, you can live at the Triangle, located in Central Austin, for $1,600 per month for about 1,000 square feet of space, which, when converted to a per-square-foot basis equals $1.60 — definitely cheaper than what a stackable apartment costs.
