Tech Workers Paying $700 a Month for Tiny Bed 'Pods' in SF

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37732026

Imagine bringing back a man or woman back to your “pod”. No privacy. Just shag and hope the other mates don't wake up or kill the vibe.

What women

:marseysmug2:

I spent a decade traveling Europe in hostels and visiting clients. There's nothing inherently wrong with a pod itself. Indeed, I prefer it if it means you get expansive public space.

Later, I lived in a New York building which was originally to become a we-work, with great amenities. It's not like you spend much time in bed. Indeed, many people (in cities) go to cafes etc. to work.

That's an interesting take that seems so obvious now that you've said it. I've spent my whole life in single family homes and never quite "got" the "go work in a cafe" and similar stuff. Seems like a pretty rich tapestry of possible experiences to miss out on. Huh. Will be chewing on that for a while.

Yea listening to people order coffee and talk loudly while you try to work is a "rich tapestry of possible experiences" :marseycoffee:

I don't understand why people don't just work remote.

If it's impossible to live there in a reasonable way....just don't live there.

it's a lot easier for most people to make moves in person

also it's a lot easier to sleep with people in person
