    I've personally seen more Mexicans living in a smaller space.

    I'd wire the place for sound and video and do all sorts of weird social experiments.

    I doubt he got approved for this so it will probably get shut down in a few weeks. Then he will be out all that money for they bunk beds he bought.

    I like when he said, there are 2 baths and we are going to expand it to 2 1/2 baths just to make sure there aren't any bathroom issues. I can just imagine the "young professional" clientele he says they have.

    I actually slept in a room with 50 more kids in bunk beds when I was taken from my family by Turkish government. I was 14 at the moment. Scared to death.

    Sleeping in a room with 50 kids like yourself and the smell of those farts. Still remembering it. Okay sorry for the interruption. Carry on please :)

    This is going to wind up as an illegal housing situation. Each occupant in a NYC apartment is entitled to 80 square feet, not including hallways, closets and bathrooms. The kitchenette can be included in the 80 square foot per person calculation.

    1,760 square feet between bedrooms, living room and kitchenette. Just from watching the video above it's clear they're not even in range of the required square footage.

    They're going to lose their certificate of occupancy and likely be dispossessed by the co-op or condo board in question.

    I'm assuming Lentils.

    I just made lentil soup last year for the first time. Awesome.

    Can't wait for the winter.

    I think according to occupancy law they would also need a full bath for every 6 people so they would need 4 full baths for this many people. Not that there weren't so many other issues.
    I did a search on this and it looks like it was first posted in January, nothing since so I am guessing it was already shut down if it ever even got off the ground.

    Sounds like a spin off of "Orange is the new Black".

    Not me but my brother was in prison in 1989 due to protesting a junta when he was in college. Turkish police's response was brutal. He was tortured for a week before his court date. He was released in the end but the damage in his body was terrible.

    My suggestion, try not to go to jail in Turkey. Although things are much better than it was 20-30 years ago it is still not good.

    Also Cakes.

    I watched the movie Midnight Express. There were a lot of exaggerations in the movie by the way. A good movie but some non fictional stuff in it.

    That was a difficult movie to watch.
