      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!”

      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!

      Living in pods

      At least read the article, no one is living in pods.

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

          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
