It's a waste of time and resources for hotels to have me stay for ten hours during a layover. They'll need to wash the sheets, vacuum the room, and clean out the bathroom for my six-hour nap. The airport is too uncomfortable but the hotel is overkill. Pods would be a nice in-between for <12-hour stays. I wouldn't even mind if the pods were in the hotel because then I get to passively benefit from the hotel's security precautions.

- yonran 2y agoAccording to Brownstone’s planning application for 12 Mint Plz https://sfplanninggis.org/pim/?tab=Planning+Applications&search=12+MINT+PLZ https://sfplanninggis.org/pim/?tab=Planning+Applications&sea..., the proposed use is Residential (which is Principally Permitted) rather than Hotel (which requires Conditional Use Authorization from the Planning Commission), and also I do not see an Intermediate Length Occupancy application (which would be Principally Permitted), so they are only permitted to offer year-long leases at this time.
