i understand the concept of small living, and applaud the idea, but to me this Bloomberg apartment seems particularly soulless…depressing…uninviting…
I think that Mr Bloomberg should (with his chosen "other")live in one of these (with NO staff/maid/etc) for six weeks. maybe he would conceive of something more palatable…Mr Bloomberg surely does come up with a lot of "ideas"…i'm just thinking he should try them out personally, for some goodly length of time…and give paid leave to his gardner/maid/cook/security force etc…Give them all a entirely new perspective..
so, hoping no one is throwing rotten eggs at me….?
