I stumbled upon this headline today and had to doublecheck to make sure this wasn’t the Babylon Bee.
This is a real article from the real Los Angeles Times:
Can’t afford California housing? Try living in a tiny sleeping pod. All 4 feet of it
Two young entrepreneurs who themselves struggled to remain housed now run a company that aims to create affordable dwellings in California’s biggest cities.
Yes! Come to California so that you can live in these luxury 4-foot pods next to a bunch of complete strangers!

$700 a month is what a nice Midwest home on a quarter acre used to cost until Bidenomics built everything back better.
The future is here!
“Live in ze pods! Eat ze bugs! You will own nothing and be happy!”
Anyways, that’s all a conspiracy theory. Except that it’s happening in Lefty Utopia, AKA California.
With locations in Palo Alto, San Francisco and Bakersfield, Brownstone Shared Housing has converted two homes and an office space into dwellings for dozens of people, with rents ranging from $500 to $900 per month.
The basic pods are a very cozy 3.5 feet wide and 4 feet tall, just big enough to fit a twin mattress. They feature amenities such as charging stations, LED lights and individual climate control systems.
“Very cozy.”
Now put them side-by-side:
Congrats, you live in stalls like animals.
$500-900 just to have a place to fit a twin mattress and charge your phone! Sounds like California is a great place to live!
San Fran Mayor London Breed seemed… intrigued by the idea in this interview 😂
Founders who are moving to San Francisco are struggling with the idea of having to pay over $3,000 for an apartment. Instead, they are investing that money into their companies and renting a sleeping pod for $700 a month. https://t.co/vUncIEH3Zf pic.twitter.com/bc9Phx33FF

Sure, you also get a locker for your stuff. But you also have to share a bathroom and kitchen with 12 other people.
“We have 50 beds between our three properties,” Stallworth said, “and 49 are booked.”
The co-founder said this is just the beginning. “Our goal is to solve the problem,” he said of the housing crisis, “so we’re definitely planning on expanding.”
Oh, I have no doubt they’ll be expanding. The elites think EVERYONE should be sleeping in the pods, selling all their property, and eating bugs with their neighbors.
It’s the future!

Claustrophobia, anyone?
Paired with boiled bugz for din-din and everyone will be set; for their 15 minute city techno-Hell. Enjoy!
The pods in the Matrix looked more comfortable,and came with free wifi.
id be more concerned about the bugs feeding on me at that point
Literally soul crushing
Good God almighty! Them cozy pod dwellers are getting robbed, $700 a month? Back in 1981-82 myself and hundreds of other young male USAF pukes had similar amounts of space in the “dorms” at Keesler AFB. At least we didn’t have to cook our own meals, or pay rent, hell I was getting paid, a wealthy E-3 . The 3413th school squadron was called animal house for good reasons.

“the elite truly believe that humans are a plague on the earth”
the chosen elite truly believe they are the humans and that no-one else is.
No, they believe they are super beings and we’re just human.
Nope.
The elite know we are all gods.
They have successfully convinced the masses to believe they are less than gods.
All are gods children.
All…..are gods.
Luxury for the homeless. Free bugs included.
you have to catch the bugs yourself.
A dorm room is a luxury condo in comparison.
What asshole will work all day to live like this when illegals are in 5 star hotels with turn down service and catered food?
You can’t have a 15-minute city without a few sacrifices.
They’re going to be paid by the government to house illegals.
Nope, they’re going to be paid by citizens displaced by illegals.
It really is going to have to burn….
You’ve been reading a certain book, have You not?
That is despicable.
Even Death Row inmates get an 8′ x 8′ cell along with fans and TVs.
You might as well kill somebody worth killing if you are going to end up State property anyway. Plus the rent is paid (never mind how).
Like John McClane said: “Fuckin’ California!”
$700 a month for a jack shack and a footlocker?!!! 😳
We used to get those for free in the Army
Enlisting isn’t quite free . . . in fact, it’s awfully expensive.
Beds n Bugs what’s not to love?
Just wait until someone farts!
Knowing my luck, I would get stuck with a bunch of Indians/Mexicans; all with irritable bowel syndrome. Curry and Corona/Burrito Farts For Everyone!!
pods are common in japan in cities like tokyo. their prices are ten times higher than what you think is too high here.
They also sell pocket pussies and used women’s undies out of vending machines. Doesn’t mean that I want to emulate them!
“used women’s undies out of vending machines”
for those of you who roll your eyes at this – yes, it’s true, they really do.
japan is different.
Yeah. Americans are just lazy now. They don’t want to work hard and save.
Japanese will put up with anything, the government could shove shit in their mouths and they would thank them for doing it.
Future news:
“60 people killed in Podz home fire.”
“Fire Investigators discover there was no emergeny evacuation plan, and all the smoke detectors in te house had been disabled by the residents.”

Let’s all see how this ^ ages…..
one pod modified home.”
Podified Home.
Looks like a prison cell block without the bars.
A prison cell without bars is more depressing than a barred cell. They think,no they know,you have accepted your fate and given up.
Excellent observation.
Does the 4 foot wide pod come with a curtain or an electrical outlet? If i am gonna pay 500-900 bucks a month,i want my money’s worth.
Housekeeping services would be nice.
Does it have a chamber pot?
You share all facilities with your 25 roomies.
Can these pods be purchased on Amazon?
High rise apartment tower which had been illegally converted in a pods type scheme, burned for 24 hours. 2,000 suspected dead.
You could put 14 of those in my bedroom and they still would only take up half the room.
So let’s see, 14 x $700 that’s $9,800 a month – Wow, for that I’ll happily move into one of the small bedrooms.
Ze bugzz, my niggaz!!!
So, like, where’s the pool?
A nice meal of beans would make for a fun night at the inn.
Beans, cabbage, hard boiled eggs, and malt liquor. I would have the neighborhood to myself in no time!
Pods would not work for me as I get up 3-4 times each night to pee. I asked Doc about the frequency as through the years I’ve heard all kinds of “thought” on the matter like maybe something is wrong. Doc says he ain’t “worried” about the peeing.
Doctors always have an astounding amount of tolerance for your pain.
THX1138, soon each pod will have an airtight glass screen so gas can be supplied to those who refuse to support the current thing.
Other than the whole “shower rape thing”, I think I would rather just steal a bunch of money and go to jail. 3 hots and way more living space. You even get TVs and a weight room! Do the pods have room for my bug farm (I need something to eat).
People Love Living in Pods So Much They’re Getting Neck Tattoos About It
The rent is too damn high!
In response, thousands of young people are giving up traditional housing in favor of living in a “pod” — a hostel-like living experience that confines their sleeping quarters to a nook in a room full of similar nomads.
And their commitment to the idea is astonishing: some “podestrians,” as they call themselves, are getting the logo of a local pod-housing network tattooed on their bodies — several on their necks.
“I’ve managed to get this PodShare tattoo,” said Nat, who got a neck tattoo of the company’s logo, in a video clip that identifies her as “Podestrian #3668.” “It kind of represents what I came traveling for.”…
A particularly illustrative example of that trend is PodShare, a Los Angeles-based “affordable shared housing” network, that allows travelers, new LA residents, and temp workers to crash on a twin-sized memory foam mattress.
Kitchen, bathroom, and living room spaces are shared with others, while WiFi, lockers, and laundry are provided on location. The price: in the neighborhood of $1,400 a month, depending on location.

Hmmm.
I can’t help but think that this has been tried before-
Cattle/sheep ranchers everywhere are asking “How can I get my herds to do this?”
$700 a month to sleep in a concentration camp.
National Socialism..yay!
Gee, let’s pile 50 adults into a single family home.
The maintenance costs on the home will become unsustainable quite quickly.
Can you imagine?
Everything would be in constant use. Toilets, kitchens, washer, dryer…
Setting the HV/AC temp would be a constant tug of war.
God help you when the toilet breaks.

Very good for the sexual ascetics – not sure a girlfriend would fancy a romp in a pod, though?
Somehow this fits…
Makes living in a van down by the river look like luxury accommodations…. It just gets fuctader and fuctader….
Mmmmmm, that’ll work until they let you know who in there. It’ll look like a bench-clearing brawl every night. At that point having bars on it would be a requirement.
all the jokes about prison food an over crowding. ive seen better accomidations in barney fifes jail. jus sayin
