Honestly, like 200 sq ft. You don’t share walls with your neighbours. No stomping on the ceiling.

For free? Yeah, I could make it work and I’m not even homeless ffs.

It’s not free. You pay 30% of your income (source is the video).

I’ve always paid >50% of my income when I rented. Sounds good!

but presumably you’re getting social assistance, no? it’s sort of like a Basic Income

Only with an address. If you have no address you can’t register.

That said there are a rare few agencies that allow people to use the agency address to start the process, but that’s the exception rather than the rule.
