Before we moved to New York, some friends shared their strategy for successfully living in NYC’s small apartments: every time they brought something new in, something old had to go.
\nSharing an apartment smaller than the one I rented as a college senior has forced us to be ruthless in casting off anything unnecessary.
\nThis has been liberating. We’re such an acquisitive society — buy! buy! BUY! — but our finite space doesn’t let us. It forces careful consideration of everything down to the number of toilet paper rolls we can stash in the closet.
