For $700 a Month, Sleeping Pods Make SF More Affordable (kqed.org)

Someone remind me: which work of dystopian science fiction are we living in this week, again?

not a bad option for hacker pods. mostly working anyways

non american here with a stupid question: why doesnt san fransisco build vertically? like 50 storey buildings

I rent in my country (first world) for 1000ish. I get a 60 sqmt home with garden And two rooms. It saddens me that the usa startup culture gave us this.

They say sleeping pods, I say those photos look like any backpackers hostel the world over only with a curtain around the bed. Only difference is anyone in a backpackers hostel knows it's temporary cheap accommodation and doesn't try to glorify it making it in to something it's not.

Reminds me of the PGs in Bengaluru, but way worse since there aren't sound dampening walls.

How is this (or not) a suitable thang for the homeless folks ?

You forgot a word in your headline. “For $700 a Month, Sleeping Pods make SF more affordable, dystopian”
