Matrix 5 Still In Development – But Why?

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIrSIUICG_E 

Of course the first MATRIX movie will always be the best in the series. However, the 4th movie had a chance to really get into the simulation hypothesis and the nature of reality. Perhaps the 5th movie will be able to touch upon that somewhat better.

As apartments continue to get smaller, they still might be considered spacious when compared to what's in a pod hotel.

Apartments with less than 400 sq. ft. (WTH?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejPOLhfBpy8 This is like a hotel room, a college dorm or a damn hamster cage! At a certain point, if ones living-space just becomes a sensory pod, then the MATRIX pod situation is just a step away. 

While this might be OK for a single person, there should still be extra space for a separate bedroom. A kitchen-dining area as well as a proper living room. Thus, anything under 600 sq. ft. just isn't a proper 1 bedroom apartment. 2 and 3 bedroom apartments are essential for families. 4 and 5 bedroom apartments for larger families, but that gets more costly in several ways.
