Studio apartments are too small. A problem?

I find many problems concerning with the studio apartment being too small. Firstly, it can only accommodate only 1 person, 2 at most. It is certainly not an ideal place for families. The space is just too small for a family of three, let alone four and i find that it will be quite awkward among them, especially if the children would prefer their own room. Secondly, there is not much space for a lot of furniture to begin with so in order to maximize space one must use multipurpose furniture, like a sofa bed for instance. Buying a furniture only meant for one purpose will only minimize the space. And the bigger the furniture, the lesser the space. And then there is the space itself. It is really small, seeing it is just ONE room for everything (minus the bathroom) kitchen, living room and bedroom, and that actually means no privacy for residents should visitors enter. They will see EVERYTHING. There also comes safety issues. Should a person choose a studio apartment where the kitchen resides directly parallel to the front door, and should a fire break out, it will cut off their only means of escape, basically leaving them trapped. The government themselves are also not helping, seeing that in order to accommodate the ever increasing population, they must shrink the already tight spaces. In Singapore its worse, as it is a small country, and the government needs to save plot land for either economical reasons or to build things that will boost up the finances. There are good things that come with studio apartments, but I find that disadvantages outweigh them all.
