Looks like a really innovative solution to the high cost living problem in SF and LA. Good article. My only complaint is it doesn't cover the common living areas like the bath rooms, dining areas, and lounges. For example, many senior living facilities have relatively small apartments for their residents, good dining facilities, and very nice common areas.

For anyone who's been in the military, the living doesn't look that bad.

"dormitory-style living"

Just takes one person to bring bedbugs in, then all will be fed on in short time as they multiply.

Then each person takes bedbugs to where ever they go, work place being one.

Maybe it doesn’t look so bad to live this way, but you can buy a heck of a house with a $1200 per month mortgage in flyover country.

I thought you can rent a single apartment for that and a one-bedroom one for $2,000.

Just part of the Agenda21/30 “stack and pack” guidelines to save the world (for the elites).

reminds me of the boarding houses of yore. My dad lived in boarding houses in his early twenties, as he worked on different construction jobs, pre-WWii. It was normal.

You know what this IS..?

It’s the Japanization of Calif.

Only without safety, cleanliness, manners and community.

And they have Francois living in one bunk of four with three women in the other three?

What happens when the lights go out?

Or is Francois gay?

I didn’t know people in the military paid 1200 a month for their bunk bed.

During my second tour in Korea I had a private room as an E-4. Unheard of in the 2nd Division. Still had to walk 100 yards to the latrine.

It’s what they get for deciding to live in those shithole cities.

Can someone please tell me why CA simply can’t allow developers to design sleeping rooms or efficiency apartments designed as hotel buildings?

Not long ago I saw an article about something called a “sleeping pod” in a family apartment in Hong Kong. (Apparently another place both very crowded and very expensive to live).

The sleeping pod wasn’t just a bunk bed; it was like a mini enclosed bedroom with lighting, a small TV, etc. It was in a one-bedroom apartment and it served to provide privacy for a multigenerational family.

I’ve also seen a video about the “pod hotels” in Japan. They are also designed to provide some privacy.

Personally, these bunks bring back bad memories of camp so no, thank you!

I lived in temporary dormitory style units in San Francisco in the early 70s. I was in a field service engineering job which kept me in the field 90% to 95% of the year. I got a small room and bed, a bathroom down the hall, a public area and (I think) dinner for a couple hundred per month. It wasn’t the nicest digs, but it saved me a TON of money when I had to come back to the regional office.

It was about one notch up from a flop house or transient hotel.

I got all that and they paid me $247 each month. Good old Fort Jackson, SC.

If you stay in such a place, be prepared to have your stuff stolen.

Agreed. I’d kick a lot of the kids out of college dormitories and transform them into housing for healthy retired, if you will.
