DESIGNER\u00a01: The investors want us to make extremely small urban apartments more enjoyable. Got any ideas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: Yes. Extremely small balconies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: That\u2019s genius. How small are we talking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: Just big enough for one person to stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: How about half as big?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: That\u2019s the best idea I\u2019ve ever heard. But isn\u2019t that still too big?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Yes. Let\u2019s make them smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: I\u2019ve never lived in the city, but it feels like we\u2019re onto something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Me neither, and I completely agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a03: Hey, I heard you\u2019re working on an extremely small urban apartment project. Do you need more help from someone who has also never lived in a city?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a03: Perfect. Let\u2019s put some balconies in complete shade and some in direct sunlight. Never anything in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: And there should always be something dripping from the balcony above, even when it\u2019s dry outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: You know what would be great, too? If the exhaust vent from the neighbor\u2019s dryer was positioned at eye level on each balcony so you have to smell your neighbor\u2019s clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: Outstanding. But which apartments should have a balcony?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Only the ones facing a major street. It\u2019s my understanding that people who live in cities like seeing, smelling, and hearing traffic at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a03: I couldn\u2019t agree more. I have a cousin who visited a city once, and he said that everyone there does traffic as a hobby. Also, they hate privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Terrific. We\u2019ll put all of the balconies really close to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a02: Wait, we forgot to enclose the balconies with the strongest metal railings ever made. The whole reason people move to cities is because they yearn for strong metal things and hate things that are soft and natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Plus, they need something to tie their clotheslines to, which is a thing they all use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a03: Just make sure there are wide enough gaps between the railings to accidentally drop things through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Great idea. What\u2019s the point of having an extremely small balcony if not for exposing yourself to the possibility of killing a passerby with a small household item?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(All designers nod in agreement.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a03: Hey, I have a question for another project I\u2019m on: Do city people like access to parking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a01: Only if it\u2019s underground, extremely difficult to use. And smells like pee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DESIGNER\u00a03: You\u2019re not gonna believe this\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
