Do u think a 70 sq ft bedroom is similar to a 18 sf house?

Relatively speaking, yes. The average bedroom size is 200 square feet. 70 square feet is 35% of that. Sure, it's greater than 9% of that, but they're both pretty small in comparison to 200. I'd bet neither meet minimum living standard requirements.

It's similar to how cockatiels can live in smaller cages, but they need a 24" x 18" x 24" cage to be happy.

Not to mention other things that humans need to live, like natural light.
