Micro Condo's or Bachelor Suites

I saw a blog post recently, talking about micro condos' as being a new trend, smaller spaces, same selling price per sq foot but less expensive. It sounded like a new trend, then I thought about when I went to college in the 70's in Ottawa. I rented something called a bachelor suite, 200 to 300 sq feet, I can see this sort of thing working for many people. Have a look at these to examples, and tell me they aren't a nice way to get into the market for younger singles.
