Huge demand for $700 a month sleeping pods in San Francisco
The Guardian
|November 02, 2024
A company that rents "sleeping pods" in downtown San Francisco for $700 (£540) a month has had 300 people apply for its remaining 17 beds, the company's chief executive has said.
Brownstone Shared Housing describes its mission as "providing low cost housing in the most expensive cities". Its bunkbed-style pods measure approximately 3.5ft by 4ft by 6.5ft, large enough to fit a twin mattress. The pods come with privacy curtains, inside lighting and charging ports.
