    SALLY Lesser really needs a bigger apartment. Instead, she has a storage unit.

    Into her 70 square foot nook goes everything she cannot cram into the one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn Heights that she shares with her husband: out-of-season clothing, old files and Christmas ornaments, playbills from long-ago shows, even their grown son's childhood toys. All for US$275 a month.
