Yeah, sorry, but this argument totally stops making sense when you consider:
1) safety: obviously people would not be safe in capsule hotels. This cannot be changed, and would fundamentally alter society if it became popular
2) It applies to other forms of safety. Collapse safety? Why? It's cheaper without (and the state will have to pay most damages anyway). Medical safety (e.g. anti-mold regulation)? Why?
Such a policy will not drop prices, except the sticker price and will cause untold misery in society. We can discuss individual measures, perhaps, but not that a lot of these price increasing really contribute to society.
- hackerlight 3y agoI was talking purely about the economics, challenging the idea that rent would remain unchanged, and so everyone would want to downgrade to a capsule dwelling. This is not true. Rents will go down, and a lot of people that can't currently afford a 1 bedroom unit will now be able to afford one. As a matter of policy, I am in favor of safety regulations. If that makes capsule dwellings illegal then so be it. We can solve the housing crisis without resorting to capsule dwellings.
