YES. I have shared hotel rooms with a variety of friends and some of them snore like buzz saws. Again CURTAINS, along with a white noise generator in every "pod" would help muffle the noise. Without the curtains, the white noise generators would be largely ineffective. Again the issue of drugs comes up: They are very eager that no one uses illegal drugs there, (and the offer that ass a reason they don't allow curtains) but it's likely that *prescription pharma* would be the only way a lot of people could sleep under those conditions.

It drives me absolutely insane and makes me very depressed. I can't have a life living like this. I can't relax or function or get anything done. Especially with a blasting TV behind my head. I can't even hear myself think. I literally had to quit my last job because I couldn't even sleep when I needed to. I had to be at work at 2am, and the TV would be blasting behind me until midnight or later. Every damn night. I have a gofundme up to help me get an old used RV to live in, but it seems to trigger and piss off a lot of people online, and I find myself having to argue with these people on a daily basis about my basic need for privacy to just be able to function and hold a job.

They all think that this is something new. Never even thought that people have done this for generations because of traveling workers like building workers (in most of Europe) or salary workers in Japan. It is a pretty common practice to do in a lot of countries. Hostels are the same, but this one is even more inconvenient due to it being an open space. If the price could come a little bit down (hitting the traveling workers market), there is a potential for earning a lot of money on this one. I would say I prefer the Japanese style tube hotels since you at least can close off the end.

I asked to be moved and they moved me to a side bed so that was nice but in this specific location, for the time that I was there, they failed to tell you that the people living in the loft upstairs had parties everynight and it sounded like they were clogging nonstop, it was insane. Staff was out of hand too here, they tell you flat out...lights out at 11, you need to be quiet but you could hear them in the side room talking about sex and drugs, really unprofessional.

[@palehorse8396]

Why is masterbation rotten? I agree with the drug usage being not allowed or tolerated, but I think if you are paying why can't you have just a little bit of privacy? Not just for "rotten" things, but if you are having an emotional situation, and don't want people to see you crying and ask you constantly what's wrong. I don't think a curtain for the pod is too much to ask. Keeping a small group of strangers constantly exposed to each other is bizarre. Roommates don't do that, what's going on here

[@palehorse8396]

And I think this creates fakeness, not one of these people are behaving genuinely. I don't get to know you if you're only showing me your fake quietness and fake smiles.

Besides the discussions about the high rent or absence of privacy, in my eyes, the saddest thing is the misuse of the word "community". She kept repeating how a random individual could become member of the "community" just by securing a bed, having eye contact with some other completely unknown to him individuals and doing some silly, superficial "rituals" like writing his name (which, by the way, can be fake) above his bed. The saddest part is that probably there are some completely alienated, postmodern, ultra individualistic people out there who understand the meaning of "community" as something so superficial and shallow as like this. Well ... a "community" is something much more complicated, deeper and meaningful than just sharing temporarily common space with some strangers and greeting them by their (possibly, fake) names! Even for the United States, a "community" is much more complicated.

Don't know much about prices in the USA (I'm Dutch) but I think the price is quite reasonable. You have WiFi, have your own TV, can use the kitchen and even the food in there. Same for the stuff in the bathroom. But this lady is all about making money, so she'll definitely get a profit out of it.

Sounds like a good idea for dystopian novel

[@unitymomentum]

You know most young people don't stay inside. Most portions go top the library, coffee/tea house, beach or park after work and them come back hone to just sleep and maybe lounge about if they want. But no one just stays inside..especially after an office job..go to the park, sleep at the beach if you're tired. Get some sun

[@KHH595]

vikita windarwati - Even in dystopian novels the people live in enclosed spaces and aren't forced to all share 1 space while they sleep.

[@sojournia1717]

This is exactly like every hostel I've been to except there's no curtains

Just overdose on a bottle of sleeping pills at that point because you've hit rock bottom.

I’m laughing at her saying “Kate you want to get coffee, it’s so much better than knocking on someone’s door and asking that” What!? Check out the reviews on this place. People are being bite by bedbugs, showers covered in mold and more. People are suing

[@josipailjkic7317]

Are you joking about the price? Thats insanely expensive for a bunk bed/co-living space and completely unpractical to use...good idea, similar as a hostel but the price ruins the idea.

[@joshedwards8985]

Josipa Iljkic it’s cheap for LA

[@CuongNguyen-le5ic]

Near Google and Facebook, the cost of 2 bedroom apartment is around 4000 dollars. Many people there live in their cars to save money from renting. So depending on location. There is a video about programmer who make 100k per year and he bought a truck to live inside. Bathing and activities and the rest is in his company property.

[@tumama030]

Good for homelessness though if you need to freshen up, 40 bucks is cheaper then renting a room in LA for a few hours.

[@rachelmilutin7242]

Especially for a family, group or a couple. 50 bucks each a night per person. For that price I could get a room with two queen beds and a pool because my family has 3 people so 150 for three pods or a room with two beds.
