Default China's "Capsule Apartments"

I thought that my apartment in the SF Bay Area was small (700 square feet with a 100 square foot deck). Imagine living in a space 1/25th that size?

China introduces 7ft10in by 4ft capsule apartments to solve housing problem - Telegraph

Tiny rooms, called "capsules", which measure just 7ft 10in long, 6ft 6in tall and 4ft wide, are being offered on the outskirts of Beijing for as little as £20 a month

I live on 3/4 of an acre here...

What? Living on 3/4 of an acre or living in one of those tiny capsules?
Think I could manage if I was desperate, lived on the streets in the UK for a while so I understand the luxury of having somewhere safe to sleep no matter how small.
Therrin could handle a place like that, he seems to enjoy routing around in tiny spaces!
