- Some AI founders are moving to San Francisco, "the AI capital of the world," and renting sleeping pods to afford to live in the city. Here's why they say it's worth it. STORY: abc7ne.ws/451ZS7Q

That's not a pod for $700 a month, it's more like a coffin it should be a violation for that landowner to side hustle for that kind of money.
it is common in hong kong.
That is just where you sleep. you get a LOT more in terms of communal living space, kitchens, even office space.
@@HicSvntDraconesThis is your future. Embrace it.
@@Y2Kr4SHM4N It is the past, the "pods", which used to be known as co-living and co-working spaces have been around since the mid-90s. I lived in one in 2001 when working on a contract in SF. They aren't anything new at all, and used to be VERY popular with tech workers, this is just a rebound. You get better privacy now, they used to be in large SF homes that were overhauled, would have bunk beds, 3 high in bedrooms, like 15 people per room, with co-office space in a different area. The Pods are just more "professional" i guess
The landlord is the real winner here.
For real tho... it's the new gold rush, like the original one 170 years ago. Gold Miners came from far and wide to strike it rich in SF, while the local general store owners were the real winners selling equipment and supplies
Founders of AI are getting ready for the day when Human are packed into tiny compartments as batteries for their AI masters.
Lol robotic and moronic
Bet he's on board with the fake babies they want to start lab creating - it's sick
The Matrix
I will not live in the pods.
I will not eat the bugs.
I will own things and be happy!
Lol fear mongering much? Who the hell said you have to live in pods these are people that have one thing in mind just working and making connections not starting a family in the pods
@noelramirez1551 It's 2023 and you still asleep on what the WEF wants for us.
These dudes are tripping. You can rent a room in surrounding cities for that price and have a front and backyard to chill in.
They didn't come here to chill. They came here to build companies.
@@RoyExplores to gamble
I hate tech bros.
Me too
Same here. They're freaking arrogant.
I lived in my SUV. Free rent! Then I sleep in Hotels in my days off. No electricity bill, no water bill, no cleaning. I can also play my Ps5.
While I think it is a clever idea, no one should have to be in a space like this because you live in a State that does not address the constant rise of renting property.
This has been going on for decades and has contributed to some of the current problems. Someone needs to do something about the high cost; there doesn't seem to be a limit as to how high the price of renting will be and now you see it happening in other states as well.
Overthrow capitalism
Well said. I did not see a Shower or Toilet on video.💯
Allowing a few hundred thousand illegal aliens into the country should solve this problem. But I'm a Democrat, so I think increased illegal immigrantion solves every problem.
Demand will drive prices up. So you have to cut the demand. Simply, there has to be less people. Since there is more and more people every day, there will be less food and less space. Demand for those goes up. Prices goes up. So if you want goverment to fix this, they have to limit the amount of children that are allowed per family.
@@stephaniewilliams6756 If you live in the US, leave, no one is keeping you here.
The Bay Area needs capsule hotels like they have in Japan.
Sad it would never work in the United States 🇺🇸
You cant make this $hit up. 😂😂
So it's basically having a bunch of roommates, except your bedroom is only a place for a bed and some small plug in electronics and the landlord in this makes mucho bank with 20 people living in one area at $700 = $14k/month
I am sure that $700 include water, sewerage, garbage, and electricity besides the mortgage and others. Those can costs so much money, though.
@@janeyue7491 Not to mention shared living space, areas with couches, tv's, full kitchens, a gym, showers, even office space.
20 people could rent a mansion with 20 rooms for 14k a month.
I would not pay more than 50 dollars for a pod. This is appalling what about the homeless. I'll boycots this corporations or business like I boycott Twitter and Facebook
You should also boycott Google and Apple, but that means you can’t post on RUclips using your iPhone, like you do now
@@franksanz1044 I don't own apple products and never had and UTube is the only product of google that I use and to be honest I could give up the computer and internet without any issues, I'm a baby boomer I've already proved I could live with out it. It's only in the last 20years that I even started using the computer and internet and have already dropped cable and internet service and a phone is all I'm using and as soon as I can get a land line I will and I'll never use another smart phone again and unlike most people I use cash and shop at brick and mortar stores and when people pay me I only expect cash no credit cards or debit cards or checks
50 dollars would be a reasonable price
No I wouldn't like to sleep in a pod looks like a coffin for $700 are you kidding me
In agreement
you WILL sleep in a pod and eat the bugs!
$1,200.00 - $1,400.00 per month studios and one bedrooms are all over Craigslist that are located in Tenderloin and Civic Center area not far from City Hall and Market St.
You mentioned the word Tenderloin. You know why they don’t want to go there😂.
@@brotherbig4651 😅 Paul Mooney at one of his shows I saw him at in SF said, "That Tenderloin ain't so tender is it".
I used to work in the tenderloin, and all I can say is that it is the probably the scariest neighborhood ever. Going in and out work for 10 months I work there was frightening,
@@janeyue7491 Agreed. I was being sarcastic when I posted my comment. I work near the TL and for whatever reason my co-workers prefer to go to a particular restaurant there (the food is just OK)... the place is like a horror movie set and I lose my appetite during the walk there.
The Tenderloin has always been a bad area, even 50 years ago, when we lived in the City.
Why not move outside San Francisco and get a apartment and just network in San Francisco?
Living with other entrepreneurs and not having a long commute makes a big difference in the success of a startup.
California especially Bay Area is just expensive everywhere.
I’ve commuted via Bart in Sf, and long commutes are not always enjoyable every single day.
would they take Section 8 vouchers for those pods?
What a dystopian nightmare. I’m a Software Engineer. I’d literally rather die than live in the cesspool.
These guys are trying to start businesses, they aren't simply workers, and starting a business takes massive sacrifice, especially when it comes to money
@@HicSvntDraconesStop sugar coating this BS. $700 to literally live and sleep in a box. No human should have to do this. A sacrifice? BS. If this is allow, what makes you think big companies Amazon won't try to normalize this?
They must be eatting the bugs too
Ha! The homeless wouldn't go for something like this 😕!
Lol
That is just a stupid comment, homeless would LOVE one of those pods, if they allow drugs and alcohol, Do you really think a tent filled with garbage on the sidewalk is better? They also aren't "JUST" a pod, the have communal living spaces, couches, office space, kitchen, etc. the pods are just for sleeping.
@HicSvntDracones so the garbage won't be on the street but in the pods and the common areas. If they don't get help for themselves let them live like dirty people 😒
such a scam 700$ for a god dam travel trailer sized sleeping pod. wake up
What country is this again?
We'll hear about his rags to riches story in 20 years from now.
Thats luxury compared to the place I lived in the Tenderloin going for 1200 hundred
Nah, I get 250 sq foot for $1,200, even have a sink and floor space on the edge of the TL by Van Ness, I even have the option to get get free drugs from the dealers outside that are trying to get me hooked, MUCH better than a pod.
LOL . i live at folsom st and i pay 650 for a double shared room. very coze and comfortable than a "pod"
Exactly and you have a Shower and Toilet
@@lonnieloveblackdragon
Silly Lonnie. All of San Francisco is a toilet. See: Reality
Real men pay 700$ to sleep on the street
bathroom?
sidewalk :)
Americans still trying to act like their country isn't in collapse.
This story isn't answering some important questions.
I'm a howeowner in Illinois and all I can say is the escalating property taxes are relentless. Mine have doubled and risen again in one year. My brother has a condo in Chicago and his taxes tripled. Its no wonder rents are going up here.
Well, if you’re dumb enough to live amongst democrats....
Egad, I thought housing was not a terrific problem back east. It is a main concern in CA. Highest housing costs in the USA, plus most homeless folk. Think there is a connection?
They are setting a trend for this type of shit living. Pretty soon landlord will think "these people paid to stay in a box to be in sf, why can't you??? " Sf will be nothing but super millionaires and this is why I hope for it to get much worse than it is now. The people there deserve it.
It's a new Gold Rush in SF
Even black mirror did not predict that....
I'd do it, lol
I do not know you ishab745 but I would bet that you were not raised to live in a pod.
Looks like a prison labor camp sleeping quarters.
Better them than me
tech bros gettin there handsdirty? nah dont think so
WTF?! This DOES NOT HELP THE HOMELESS AND UNAFFORDABILITY TO LIVE IN SF AT ALL! IT'S DISGUSTING!
Tremendous respect for the work ethic. What I can't grasp is being inspired by artificial intelligence.
What if you have to pee?😂
it's san fran , we use the sidewalk
💯💜
Use the bathroom!
let's hope your grand children have a JOB in the future
I’ve heard tents on the sidewalk work pretty well.
i think this is neccessary. there should be multiple options ( i.e. an option the same size, but with space for a desk). it's not for everyone, but as long as proper hygiene and quality is upheld, what this will do is create competition. forcing all the luxury apartments to lower prices or lose customers to minimal options. i don't think there should be rent control from the government. we should introduce alternate/cheaper options and force them (via competition) to lower prices, or make sure the price is worth every penny. If this started up all around the country, house and apartment prices would drop inorder to stay relevant.
Whaat is there in that place to stay in pod. World is beautiful to move and build another place like SFO.
If Luz Pena is my roomate, ill live in one of them pods❤
Airbnb of the future
Wicked
Klauss Schwabb- You vill own nothsing and be happy.
700$ for that???
Tech ruins San Francisco
Back to stoneage. This is the USA.
A old trailer rv or boat is around eight hundred dollars to buy.
This is so despicable and sad ....no one in the USA should live in. A pod ..most insane bull shit I ever seen .....I truly had enough of seeing this kind of disrespect....I'm retired and me and my gf live at mothers in law apartment.. alot of people don't have that and they should..
A lot of people don't still live with mom at retirement age...
$700 a month lol?? WTF!!
London breed is such a bad person…..
I'll bet this tech founder is also fond of eating bugs when he is hungry and bike riding where he needs to go when it's raining outside - Idealistic young person is helping wipe out humanity
....i pay 1200 a month for a real house
Just get roommates
Think the rent is crazy but doing what you gotta do and believing. Respect
200
Breed sold out!!
As a homeowner, I 100% support keeping supply low and demand high.
must be niceeeee
The richest country in the world 🌎🌍
Nope
we should tell all teckes it help with CLIMATE CHANGE and then we can 1,500 a month :)
Eat ze bugz. Live in ze podz. You will own nothing and be happy.
Own nothing and be happy 😊... great reset coming your way soon... accept Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour... we're leaving SOON ❤
"The AI (job replacement) capital of the world". Wonderful
Nutjobs liberal not giving a ckuf about humanities. Its all in their faces.
Come to india pune and do the startup
