Anyone know why capsule hotels (and homes) aren't more common in SF? Is it a regulatory thing?

Hardest part was I had no fridge and nonperishable food is loaded with carbs and sodium. Was hungry often.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing! What was your motivation for this lifestyle?
-
(I recognize "save money" is the obvious first order answer
) -
Yeah, knew I needed to be in the valley, didn’t have much cash, read too much Thoreau :)

How long did you do it?
-
4 months; until we were funded. Got married then, too.

Congrats on both


Must've been an exciting time
This gets to an important drawback—hard to choose this lifestyle if you have a significant other/family or want to date. Was that a challenge? -
I was engaged already and she stayed in Utah. That would be a trade off, yes, both the social stigma perspective and the nowhere to take someone home to perspective. Thinking of optimizing that, only n% of the time are you sleeping with someone, so if you had one communal.. jk

Where did you safely park at night?
-
I started out just randomly parking on Palo Alto streets. You don’t realize this but no one looks in windows of cars they walk by. Later would park in the parking lot of the Mormon church on Ensign way. Was a secluded area next to camping trailers so I knew they didn’t tow.
