You live in your own self-created pod, built from a steady diet of media brainwashing.

The pod was one of the many angles pushed here at the top to make you anxious and buy while big players were spending.
>You're going to live in a pod and own nothong unless you take extreme risks on these speculative assets!
Information warfare. Obviously the push died down during the bottom when they wanted you to feel safe and not buy.

kind of, the problem with the pod-based living is that the people who designed the pods are so insanely rich and out of touch that they had no idea what they'd actually be like. The idea was "lets make this cheap housing so that tech workers who fly into San Francisco can rent a pod for a couple months at a time instead of living out of hotels or signing year-long leases".

They all thought it was this great way to generate continuous revenue while providing affordable housing to high income earners.

The reality was completely the opposite. Because the pods were cheap and affordable, they were mainly rented out by degenerates, drug addicts, and poor people. Those people then made those spaces undesirable for the intended demographics (i.e. instead of going there and collaborating on projects with fellow tech workers, your bunk is next to a smelly methhead that screams sometimes). They basically became homeless shelters that you pay for

they cost more than a 1 bedroom apartment or equivalent monthly hotel stay?

i dont know what real estate rates were back then in la, but these things for a bunk in auschwitz went for 1500 usd/month
its max exploitation price point directly aimed at squeezing young professional out of al their pay
probably under the rent of an apt, which is you know an actually living space but far outside the reach of the junkie methheads you described
and as far as i recall it they also had a permaban thing for their services if you voiced a wrongthink, they even made a public display of that with dinosaur memes, but no i didnt save all the links that are probably dead after all those years
