    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!

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