Techies are paying $700 a month for tiny bed 'pods' in downtown San Francisco
Brownstone is renting out 'pods' for $700 a month in San Francisco's SoMa neighborhood, and techies are taking them.
You're viewing a single thread.
The bizarre thing about this is that the media and tech companies are pretending this is because these people WANT to live in pods.
Not because they can't afford anything, even when they have tech jobs that should mean they get paid well.
It's the American dream for all your possessions to fit in a backpack so you can be the salaried unhoused.
No possessions, only consume!
That's not how this article reads to me. It even mentions high rent is driving the demand.
I didn't say this article was portraying it as such.
But in general the media and companies do. This "pod people" and "20 people sharing a 2 bedroom" thing has been in the news on and off for a few years already.
Oh I didn't think ya were! Sorry I probably should've put a /s there or something, absolutely agree! ♥
