Once upon a time, New York City developers could build apartments almost as small as they pleased, no matter how inhumane or unsanitary the result. That all ended with a series of civic reforms in the 1980s that stipulated 400-square-foot minimums-a giant step forward, at least until our own time, when those minimums began to seem a little too generous given the cost of living in a city growing ever more crowded. Now, under a new zoning initiative, the first of the city's legal micro-apartments has been completed.
