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.
Great, no one is!
Rather than complain about all the comments, why not read the article?
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.
Amongst the mice fighting for the few crumbs that fall from the table were the fatcats divide the cake, a few will, upon finding a slightly larger crumb, proudly raise it for all to see and shout: "See?! The System works!"
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?
Cats will marry dogs and it'll rain gold doubloons!
At least read the article, no one is living in pods.
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
But you're still not getting it...
And I'm not trying anymore. Maybe stick to your pg13 porn sub
It’s a month to month contract. That seems to back your idea of startups.
