Can't afford California housing? Try living in a tiny sleeping pod. All 4 feet of it

  Wow, for prices comparable to rent in most other states?

  I have a crazy idea: move elsewhere.

    Or you know, we could actually fix the fucking problem instead of bitching at the victims?

      Lol, I’m not bitching at the “victims” you nerd. I’m pointing out the absurdity of living in a sardine can instead of relocating to a place, any place, that is better and less densely populated and cheaper to live than LA.

      There comes a point where people stop being victims, and willingly subjecting oneself to living in an overpriced, overpopulated, crime ridden city is entirely self inflicted.

  Aren’t conservatives all about innovation? Or maybe just libertarians?

    Something can be both innovative and retarded at the same time. Just look at every government weapons development program. Lots of extremely innovative stuff. Innovative stuff that’s over the top, expensive, and logistically infeasible. Like, I seriously doubt that pod living is the solution anyone actually wanted, rather than a bandaid fix to a larger issue.

      Yeah, like all free market solutions. Because free market solutions aren’t designed to solve problems; rather, they’re necessarily designed to extract value from customers (or however you’d like to phrase making people pay for things).

      Imagine a private weapons development program: not that much innovative stuff that’s cost-effective and very efficient and funnels money into the hands of amoral CEOs who have no problem being the scourge of the earth. Way better, right?

    No, that’s not really aligned with politics. Maybe democrats though.

  capsule hotels have been a thing for a long time, this is just a reimagining of that concept.
