Yet another case of fact triumphing over fiction. Janny Scott of the NYT writes about the housing situation in NY in Talk About Renting a Hole in the Wall. Apparently, the situation is so bad that people are renting out parts of their apartment!

The article was accompanied by a hilarious illustration of the tenant demonstrating how to board a bed…on the wall! I can just imagine the absurd situations these roommates must find themselves in. Comedic gold, to be sure, but I would need a suitable apartment to shoot in. Anyone in the Boston area willing to help?
