I mean, that's a ridiculous amount of space compared to when I was out to sea with the Navy...

It sounds like it's filled with short term renters trying to get startups going. They need a place to shower and sleep while going to a lot of meetings in SF.

I don't see an issue with that.

Now, if people were signing up to live there for a year at a time while working a full time job...

Yeah. That's dystopian as fuck

    The amount of comments defending this make me sick. No one working full time our hell part time should live in those conditions.

    People in the military shouldn't live like that either. Honestly what is even the point of America being the leading world power, wastes all of it.

    who have to live in these undesirable conditions because the cost of living has gone out of control.

    No, they're living their to sell their startup ideas, and they need a short term SF rental to do that.

    If you dont like the military comparison, what about dorm rooms? Or to get less American, hostels?

    How nice has your life been that this looks so horrible?

    If these pods catch on,

    Cats will marry dogs and it'll rain gold doubloons!

    Living in pods

    At least read the article, no one is living in pods.

    I did read the article and a person who utilizes these pods spends at least 6-8 hours in them per day

    But you didn't understand it apparently...

    There's communal living spaces, the "pod" is just for sleeping.

    You're acting like they're sealed up in there the whole time. Or you just don't understand that people sleep 6-8 hours a day...

    And you're still acting like people are living there long term. You didn't understand anything in the article
