Maybe a year ago, there was a little article on the BBC Website about
a former stairwell being converted into a London flat of 75 square
feet. I've tried web search and can't find the article so my vague and
unreliable memory is it was offered for sale for half a million
dollars. Here in Los Angeles, that much money will get you a detached
house or a two or three bedroom flat.

Maybe a month ago, there was another article I can't find in web
search, about a 30 square foot former 'janitor's closet' being offered
for sale as a London flat. The buyer will have additional expenses to
remove the trash currently filling it and install electricity,
lighting, and plumbing; the seller's real estate agent describes it as
an 'incredibly depressing' space. I really wish I could remember the
asking price of this one.
