Micro Compact homes displayed at MOMA

The Museum of Modern Art in New York City had a display on modern homes and architecture trends in summer of 2008. This is part of the description of the Micro Compact home: everything you need in 6 square meters.

There have been compact homes for 80 years - it's called a trailer. What's innoh-vah-tive about those is that they come with wheels and a hitch...

This is neat, but only in the sense of an architecture student's term project.

It's not very practical, especially in a place like NYC (she gives by example). Because they are not stacked, they are wasting vertical space. And all the windows are nice, if you have a view, but if you are putting a community or dorm like she mentioned, then guess what - your view is of your neighbors, and kinda boring. I would also assume that the soundproofing and bed material is not that great, making it hard for certain dorm-room 'activities'.
