    “Became a big hit with tech workers” lmao that’s fucking stupid. There’s just nowhere to live that’s remotely reasonably priced in SF. This is like one of the only choices if you really don’t want a roommate.

        Sorry - I mean like a roommate in a college dorm, wherein you share a room. Because there’s approximately zero chance that one could find a private room to rent in SF for $700 or less.
