If this is where most lived it would have ended in a week. I could maybe see something like these (not quitr this dystopian but similar) being used more in cities for business rentals. People traveling for weeks or more to various places throughout the year who can't justify hotels and mostly just need a place to sleep, shower and keep their belongings safe. I'd hope employees of big companies wouldn't put up with it but traveling salesman and small businesses could probably justify as long as they're as affordable as they should be.

I think, on this level, a homeless tent might be superior, simply for the in and out option available in case of an earthquake (especially in Japan). There is no way one can leave or exit this place quickly in case of emergency. Also, that sink is dangerously close to the water. Too close.

[@mr.foxasmg]

We're gonna need galvanized steel, screws borrowed from our third aunt, and eco friendly wood veneers for this one 🔥🔥🔥

[@Armoredcorefan]

LMAO

[@bruhidk2817]

Yessir make sure to add a water tank into the wall and add a toilet. Put a shower on top of that and cooking area next to that. Add a sliding door to close off that section. Now us some more galvanized square steal and make a bedfame above the floor. Make sure to leave enough space under the bed fram to fit a seat and a closet for cloths. Put a foldable table near the seat for easy access for a place for little John to work or eat. Now we have a fully functional house

Could be "the runs," often preceded by some "sharting." Splatters 360° inside of the bowl, including the rim and the underside of the toilet seat, and sometimes hits one's own entire genital region. Fun clean up. Is that toilet just for the one apartment? If yes, privacy isn't so necessary, unless one has guests brave enough to visit. That place ain't for my old bones, that's for sure.

Imagine you’re hard up & depressed, you have extreme anxiety & have trouble socialising with people. Your sh*tty paying work, or lack thereof, means this is your only option. If you weren’t certifiable before moving in, you would be moving out (likely, in a straitjacket). I just couldn’t! A tent would be preferable.
