This is not dystopian at all, is it? Humans sleeping in pods. I guess it beats homelessness but this seems like a fail on epical levels (unless profits for these pod companies are what we care about).

    I dunno, $700/month for a shitbox doesn’t seem like a good deal, sleeping in the car sounds far more reasonable at this point unfortunately

    Worst part of this is that there is a demand. There are 20 people applying for one mattress sleeping pod (name everything as “pod” and it sounds futuristic and elite). How is this place ventilated? Can you imagine the unbeareable stench the tenants emit while dwelling there? No wonder it violates city codes. The “privacy curtain” is a joke, you can’t leave your stuff there unattended. It will get stolen in no time. It’s like staying in a youth hostel.

    What the actual fuck.

    These aren’t even well made compared to Japanese pods which have been a thing for a while.

    These look like painted plywood with a curtain. Changing this space into “pods” probably cost a whopping 20k for an extra what? 35k per month income?

    1 person with sleep apnea moves in? The entire shared buckbed barracks of 50 people luxury pod will be kept awake every night for the forseeable future.

    Seriously? 700 per month with 0 soundproofing at all and a curtain instead of a door? There will quickly be quite a few SA cases and theft cases here I imagine.
