and seeing how successful podshare, what's the viability of buying a bunch of capsule hotel beds and renting them out? Especially in areas with high rent and real estate like the bay area, where I could provide a relatively cheap and importantly private place that someone with a lower income could live in or stay for a vacation
Seeing how successful Podshare is, these beds look more stylish, more comfortable and most importantly, gives guests more privacy
Hotel? These will be the way 90% of the way people live in about 2 years.

The American Dream: From a house and a white picket fence 7 decades ago to a fucking pod house in 2020. The disparity can't be anymore evident.
Ian Nguyen
honestly pretty good idea
try it out
Ryder Evans
i'm utterly positive this would succeed if the rates were competitive
Michael Rogers
imagine the smell
Thomas Bailey
How do you take a shit
Thomas Miller
You will make bank renting these out to city based wagecucks but keep in mind you have to hire people to clean and probably bleach out cumstains
Sebastian Williams
From a traveler's perspective, I would unironically prefer these to half the motels and all of the hostels I've stayed in
And compared to the dorms I stayed in for college, these are much better, at least I can study quietly without my roommates snoring and vaping
I was thinking, maybe a sort of a pilot program in an area that gets a lot of vacation traffic but relatively cheap real estate, like in Montana or Wyoming
Joshua Howard
something like a gym locker/shower room
Alexander Reyes
Don't do it, user. If you wanna make good money unironically buy some low caps like ARPA and wait for the MPC bubble.
Benjamin Moore
Terrible idea. Regular travelers will avoid this bullshit for a regular hotel, even at a steep discount. You need soiboi cucks because they're the ones who think it's neat to live in a pod
Samuel Powell
But soi people love novelty >omg pod hotel, just like glorious Nippon >omg so Cyberpunk:tm:
Also it would be especially viable in SV. Plenty of tech workers want to work there but not pay $4000 a month for rent. I can see a lot of single dudes wanting to live in these for dirt cheap while they make bank for a year or two. New York too, basically any city that's has a ridiculous cost of living
That's what I said. Not cowboy country, cuckboi country

This is why Tracy, CA exists. Suck up the shitty commute for 2-4 years while your initial stock grant vests, get your resume blessed with FAANG magic, then GTFO.
Bentley Gomez
Japan: This hotel is nice and cheap. I wish the guy under me would turn down the volume on his porn
America: Wow I hope I don't get stabbed by niggers. Are gays having sex in the pod next door why is it so loud?
>t. American who lived in Japan for 2 years I'm behind you 100% OP, but how will you solve these problems?
Adrian Turner
There's a street outside, Pajeet.
Xavier James
what is living in japan like, user?
Henry Mitchell
I would have a strict one person only per pod and masterbaters will have their cock cut off policy.
They have a romanticized view of America, but they really like most foreigners. Bars are really fun and they have a really cool party culture. It's kind of like Australia. Most people are pretty polite and you might get into some awkward situations. Overall, it is pleasant and everyone just lets you do your own thing.
Nicholas Lopez
tear gas nozzles in every pod
fine print in rental contract outlining zero tolerance for conduct breaches
You can rent again after your first offence but on your second the door will be sealed during the spicy contract enforcement cycle.
Gavin Richardson
lolol I lived in tracy for 18 years and my dad was a super commuter. You get kids, and suddenly you find yourself dealing with Tracy Unified teachers and staying put until they turn 18 while your $500k house is not paid off. Once you are in the bay area ecosystem it's way harder to leave than you think, and once you do leave it's impossible to come back.
Elijah Harris
>and you might get into some awkward situations
What's that mean? I get in awkward situations in 50% of social situations.
Charles Cooper
I looked into this before.
Fire and building code in California (And most of the united states) is hostile to small rooms let alone capsules. Capsules are essentially confined spaces and unless you can find a way around western norms you are semi-fucked. Japanese in the US have already looked at the idea and passed which should tell you something.
Daniel Brown
I've thought this over since playing Deus Ex. Perfect if UBI is ever implemented as a NEET storage facility. Ideally I wanted themed floors like futuristic, simplitic modern low light
My plan was to give it everything for extended living, showers, dining area, mail check-in, gym, etc. No smoking, drinking or eating in the pods.
looked into this years ago. problem i came across was housing regulations won't allow it in many places "safety" concerns "iving conditions", maybe that's changed
Isaiah Edwards
Got no interest in running a capsule hotel but I think of stumbled on my perfect off grid home when I make it.
>which should tell you something. That the Japanese are spineless pussies that will not push boundaries, take risks, or fight for their right to do as they damn well please.
Landon Morris
This would be perfect for those of us on fixed incomes who don't qualify for anything else.
