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.

Scale this up. The blue bins could be beds. You lay down and push a button and you end up in row 5, level 8. Push another button and you are moved to the bathroom or kitchen.

All of the above...TRUE.
Above and beyond that, we tend to snore a great deal as well, so don't plan on a good night's sleep.
OTOH - take a tip from Seinfeld
Sleeping in drawers
Pre earthquake $1200, POST earthquake 12 cents.
If you stay in such a place, be prepared to have your stuff stolen.
The bedbugs would be the least of my worries. Envisioning The Village People and YMCA.
A couple of years ago someone described Indian tech workers living like this - they basically had timeshares on BEDS.
And bugs! Posterchild, don’t forget about those roaches that measure at least 8 inches in length and 3 inches in width and are not even afraid of the light!

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

Like my neighbors I’m so obese and lazy that I strap them on to my shoes to go to the mailbox and back.
Join the military and you will get the same living arrangements and get paid to live in a dorm.
LOL
Yes!
All neighborly feuds are to be put aside: Concentrate on keeping LIBERALs/RINOs/Non-voters the heck out of the RED STATES.
Posterchild,
I will forever be seeing roaches as skis!
