Can't wait for the next trend after this one for the neo hipsters: hobo-housing. It's so affordable. You just push a vintage shopping trolley loaded with your stuff to a homeless shelter. Make an app to find the closest bunk bed!
- zardo 11y agoAre there any capsule hotels in the US?
- ghaff 11y agoI think the short answer is no--not in the Japanese sense. There are hotels optimized around small (say 170 sf total) rooms. But in most (all?) cases they still have private bathrooms and you can certainly stand up and walk around. They're sometimes called "pod hotels" but that's sort of marketing; lots of hotels in a city like New York have pretty cramped rooms.
