Right now, it might be for people who want to create startups but eventually, if this catches on, it might become the new norm because we are caught in a cycle of increasingly deteriorating living conditions.
As for dorms, yes, while they are small they are still more spacious than these $800/month pods that are around 6 ft long, 3 ft wide, and 4 ft tall.
I did read the article and a person who utilizes these pods spends at least 6-8 hours in them per day, so that comes out to around 42 hours per week or 91 days per year. So people are spending at least 3 months of their lives inside a pod that is smaller than a jail cell.
My life hasn’t been easy by any means (I have an autoimmune condition) but I refuse to let banksters, corps, and people with low expectations drive down our living conditions any further. Instead of opting for pods that are smaller than jail cells, we should demand better housing that’s affordable, otherwise, what do we pay all these taxes for?

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
I updated my response.
Still getting used to Lemmy’s formatting.
But you’re still not getting it…
And I’m not trying anymore. Maybe stick to your pg13 porn sub
I came here to have an honest discussion but if you don’t want to engage that’s fine.
