if you rent you only have to smell your own farts if you go in there it's the combined farts of 40 people seeping into your clothes hair every pore of your skin.

> Airbnb, once a saviour from overpriced hotels, has become the new overpriced hotels since becoming the short-term accommodation staple. But with the rise of community living and workcations, an alternative might be to just sleep where you cowork. That's the idea behind PodShare, a coworking space with beds, which has three locations in Los Angeles.

> Defined as a "co-living space," PodShare was co-founded in 2012 by entrepreneur Elvina Beck and her father, who have built the shared living spaces for social travelers and mobile workers who rent the beds for $35 to $50 a night.

Have we reached peak sharing economy yet?

I want to have sex with him/her

>>13436481
You can't, sex is not allowed, you're there on permanent workation.

>250 a week
>1k a month
>to live with 30 other people with 0 privacy and 0 place for possessions.

Yeah, I would rather team up with 2 or 3 other guys/gals and actually get a place where you have your own space and can bring company back too to get laid or at least be able to jerk off in the privacy of your own room.

Wtf would think living here is a good deal?

>>13436457
Whatever dude, you aren't going to convince me this is a good idea.

why would you not just live in a van?

>>13436571
what is a good idea?

>>13436611
Then you have to pay for insurance and probably a place to park your van.

>>13436444
>>13436463
imagine the smell

>>13436657
that would probably cost a 100 times cheaper than a bunk in a fart barn like op

>>13436444
wtf where are the curtains? how am i suppose to jack off

wheres podschwitz fren forgot to save that fresh meimei

It would at least help you with no fap.

>>13436444

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF LA RENT

>>13436444
Imagine living in Podschwitz

>>13436712
>>13436762
kek there we go

>>13436544
Yeah 50 a night comes out to 1400 a month. In Athens GA you can live like a god for that much with zero traffic and high quality restaurants and bars and hot young women everywhere. LA truly is the biggest meme on earth at least NYC actually has a ton of shit to do 24/7 and you can access it all via public transit

>>13436762
top fucking kek

>>13436444

In nowhere America you can rent an entire house for like $700 a month.

Do the high wages in California make this kind of living worth it?

I don't fucking think so.

All this and no fucking curtains kek

>>13436807
You can go to shitholes in California to find shithole houses for $700/month.

>>13436762
They really get a number and tattoo themselves? Is it a joke?

We are truly in the End Times.

At least they look happy that way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etJIaePjKH0

this will only get worse in the next couple of years with advance ai kicking in. and no it wont make new jobs. our only hope is that the fucking gobernment hands out gibs so we can move into the suburbs again then the whole housing market will relax and everything will be fine until automation is so far ahead that you can print literally everything inside your home. if ubi doesnt come within the next ~10 years we are all fucked so hard this will look very comfy to you.
that is because every fucking soul will move into large citys because there will be literally 0 jobs outside of them - everyone will compete for the few jobs available driving wages lower and lower and rents up and up.
please sergey for the love of god safe us

>>13436611
Buying a sailboat is the real way out. Vans are a meme.

No insurance (just say you never turn the motor on; most places only require motorized watercraft to be insured or even licensed for). You can move from A to B easily and if you do want to be stationary for a while getting a spot at a dock is cheap af relative to renting, my ex moved into a sailboat and docked for 4 months at a time for $1500 and paid 4k for a used boat. Its smart as fuck.

>>13436444

Can someone explain to me exactly what the difference between this and slave quarters is?

>>13436671
same thing i was thinking

>>13436762

>>13437326
Interesting. Where were they docked at?

>>13437623

slaves don't pay for it.

>Jake just ignoring everyone like a true alpha

>>13436463
I think it's safe to say if I kill myself now I won't have missed anything. Nothing good will come from humanity in the next 50 years. Our generation will be marked in the books as one of extreme stagnation and hopelessness

>>13436444
I understand the point of living in the big city if you're rich. You get all the big city perks like night life and stuff to do and all that, and you don't have to worry about the big city expenses. But what on fucking earth is the point of living in the big city if you're poor? There is no upside to it at all, none. You can't even afford to do all the cool shit or experience the night life, its even worse than living in the middle of nowhere because all that cool shit is right in front of you but out of reach. At least in the middle of nowhere you don't even think about that stuff because none of it is around you, just empty open nature. Paying $1500 a month for a fucking bed in a warehouse shared by 50 other people. Dear God.

>>13436457

I don't get it, what's the downside?

>>13436762
checked and kekd

what is this? Some hippy dippy commune shit? Fuck that. I don't work hard as a wageslave every day so I can live with 30 other idiots and zero privacy. I would move to a third world country and teach English before doing something like this.

>>13437270
It’s true that without link we are fucked

>>13436762
clownworld somebody

>>13436762

>>13436762
you are going places man

>>13436444
Commies get the rope.

>>13436463
This is literally the lifestyle of sweatshops in communist China.

>>13436444
Does a lot of sex happen at these kinds of places? I would imagine with that many young people in one room there must be nightly orgies going on.

>>13436444

Only in Santa Monica would this literal shelter style living work. They're so far up their own assholes with virtue signaling to each other they've convinced themselves it's ok.

>>13436463

>$50/night for one of those

Get the fuck outta town, why not just rent at a cheap hotel?

Failing business structure made for people who have no money / 10

>>13438035
The estrogen levels in those guys are higher than the women and all of the chicks are turbo feminists.
Now way in hell anyone fucks, unless it's lesbian sex.

>>13436762

Fucking savage!!!

>>13437623
Its progressive!

>>13438035

No, the women shame the men who have those feelings and the men are so beta that they believe they're in the wrong.

You couldn't have an ounce of testosterone to put up with that.

>>13436671
Imagine the Hell

>>13438080

Progressively more slave quarter-ly

>>13437891
This anon summed it up perfectly.

>>13436444
kek im glad this keeps being reposted. I shared this god awful video a few months ago for the first time on biz lol

>>13438110

>I posted it first

Fucking hang yourself faggot

>>13437026
Looks like you motherfuckers are about to get setup again for the Holocaust enjoy the next 70 years. LMAO

>>13438035
>Does a lot of sex happen at these kinds of places?

>>13437785

"lol because the country is SO LAME, anon! It is just like, cows and sheep and shit. Silly! You don't have much of a social life, huh? I feel sorry for you. You should come live in my share-house with my 12 other roomies, we have a closet that isn't being used that you can totally crash in."

>never mind that that share-house has only 1 bathroom....

>>13437326
You only need registration and liability insurance for a motor vehicle in commiefornia, I can get both for under $1000 a year since I have a clean driving record after 50k+ miles. You'll have to pay both anyways if you rent and plan on not relying on public transportation. Renting the land jew is just exploitation by the 1%.

>>13436444
>Literally fucking hell

>>13436611

>Buy a fleet of vans
>Give them internet connections (or not, mobile hotspots are a thing)
>Give them some hip name like "MeVans"

>>13436444
What if i want to masturbate in my bed?
What if i want to play my loli visual novels in peace?
This is why i can't stand hostels, this kinda shit is meant for staying like 4 days tops.

>>13438487

>Buy $20,000 van
>Then all get rekt in 1 day
>Find a flaw

Hmm

>>13438534

God damn it, I was thinking about respectable people when I wrote my post. I forgot that these are all degenerates. Seriously though, there is no way that living arrangement is better than living in your car.

>>13436762
oh jesus fucking christ lol
this is too much

>>13436481
#metoo

>>13436444
i could see this idea expaning, hell i could even imagine AIRBNB rolling out their own pod homes

bunk bed, with storage underneath, maybe a mini fridge in the wall, this shit will lead to the rise of american hikikomori

>>13436571
i'm almost convinced

>>13436444
nice trips, but unfortunately the thread ends here

>>13437759
he's busy. he's reddit mod.

>>13438566

Well if you like being around other insufferable people who blame everyone else for the fact that they're there, then yeah it beats living in your car. Those people would probably reject you for your cars carbon footprint though. That entire room is one giant virtue signal.

>>13436762
no fucking way

>>13436762
Ty sir

can't we just break into a vacant suburban home and shoot the bankers and police that come to take you? i'd rather go to prison than wage cuck until i die and have no property to show for it

>>13436762
god bless you.

>>13436457
I can't even imagine the smell.

>>13438963
After decades USA is finally starting to catch up to Japan's capsule hotels.

The most surprising thing to me about this pod business is not that people seem to think that it's a new concept, it's that it seems to actually be spearheaded by a woman.

>>13438534

>what is insurance

>>13439740

>What is an actuary

idiot.

This is such a meme business, there are much better alternatives for less. And no, I don't think this is the future at all. That woman is very smart considering she is charging these idiots 50 dollars a night, they clearly are a bunch of hipsters who were sold on the whole social communal living scam.

>>13439862

>Wasting the best years of your life living in squalor in the name of being 'woke'

Can't wait for them to see being the veil of their own virtue signal. Good on the owner for milking them of their parents money.

/pol/ is looking to crowdfund a melanin enrichment program for the podsharing.

>>13439877
It makes no sense at all, they're not even doing this out of need. We have NO NEED for such things as communal housing, at least not at 50 dollars per day. If it was cheaper this would make sense but no, it is a stupid trend.

>>13436762
I remember someone posting this during peak bear market ah good times

>>13436762
Podschwitz is actually a very nice hotel with state of the art pods that have all the utilities as a normal sized house. What you see here is more reminiscent of the podlags. Podlags are the real shit where people were forced into being work cucks. The people responsible for the Podlags framed the people whom made podschwitz for their own shitty living accommodations.

But on the good side, it looks like a nice place to do a nofap run and get a low-maintenance gf

>>13437326
What about electricity, water and bathroom?

>>13436444
I hate these fucking hippies

>>13438055
this. if you sleep where you work it should be like 10$ a nigh tops. though thats still more then a monthly rent of really cheap stuff

>>13438055
there is a motel 6 by me going for $60 a night. these people are fucked in the head

>>13436463
>$1500/month

Imagine the stench

This is a joke right?

>>13439921
I had the original high quality one saved but some faggot stole my phone and I had to start all over

>>13436457
Not just the farts, the snoring and sleep apnea of countless folks. They are so degenerate that they dont even separate this by gender. If their was more thought to this, it would be run like a dormitory and separated by weight class. Fat people are awfully noisy.

>>13438035
>>13438057
I was on one of those backpacker buses in new zealand a few years ago. They put us in a hostel arranged just like this. It was also a pub, so naturally everyone got shitfaced. Everyone went back to the room about the same time, there were 20 of us or so. Two people were already going at it, a condom flew and hit the guy next to me. Within an hour at least 8 people were having sex, a swedish girl was being fucked prone from a german/canadian guy on each side. 21 y/o incel me was seething.

>>13441609
Why didn't you smile at one of the girls you'd chatted to throughout the night, shrug and start tearing her clothes off?

>>13439603
>woman
It's her dad who made the project, she is just the face

>>13436444
Looks like this may not be up to fire code
I did not see a sprinkler system in the building or fire extinguishers

>>13436444
The Fuck is a "workation"?

>>13441895
I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

>>13442581
It's when you're neither really working or taking a proper vacation.

>>13442582
>>13436463

>>13436762
almost outed my power level at work with how hard I kekked at that

>>13436463
I could see utilizing this service as a good place for me to find a quiet corner to kill myself in

>>13436444
So... a fucking hostel? Jesus christ, renaming shit that's been around for ages pisses me off, like that massively overpriced overnight bus.

>>13442834
I lived like this for 9 years at boarding school, I'd rather KMS

>>13442834
Wait until hipsters find out about the four penny coffins and the two penny rope.

>>13443043
How is this more comfortable than laying in rocks?

>>13443110
Back then cops would give you a good beating if they found you mucking about at night or sleeping in doorways. Hobos could go to the poorhouse or find one of these which wasn't as bad.

From comments, sums it up

>>13442581
It's the 7 months that I was unemployed and in-between-jobs fucking hell but unemployed so it was technically a vacation.

>>13436444
This is some guy who didn't want to buy an actual hotel figuring how leverage his real estate for far better profits than he could get otherwise. Anyone living here is fucking retarded and afraid of personal responsibility.

>>13443315
They don't, she rents warehouses and found some loophole to bypass zoning laws. It's actually pretty smart business. And by selling it on a subscription model, she makes living in a hostel palatable to millennial and zoomer retards.

>>13436671
Based sniff bro

>>13436762

>>13436463
>$50 fucking dollars a night
holy shit this is another one of those hipster money grabs isn't it

>>13438110

>>13440942

seems to be virtually no ventilation

>>13443595
*sniff*

>>13436444
Why podshare when you can kys?

>>13436444
Looks comfy as fuck

>>13439603
but anon capsule hotels give you privacy without all the "shared" part thrown at your face whether you like it or not.

>>13443845

>>13436444
at least then you could have friends
