By modern standards, I live in a 38 sq metre one-bedder on the ground floor of a classic Sydney 1960s red-brick apartment block.
It doesn't get much sunlight and sometimes the planes fly so low overhead they rattle the windows.
It would also be illegal to build today if it were built today .
A recent report by the New South Wales Productivity and Equality Commission recommended relaxing apartment size and design requirements to provide more choice.
