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

common among multi-generation immigrant families sharing a house, and young ppl trying to break into their industry

I know multiple friends that literally lived in closets. My first apt in SF was a 1-br with 3 other guys

Ooooooh!! Would love to hear about all your experiences, especially if you think it could scale beyond your specific circumstance

Would have loved a capsule hotel. Have been actively looking for shared dorm style housing as well for students (longer term). No idea re:regulatory but please do it. I love the idea

My experience: everything I own in one suitcase, here’s my sleeping situation. Would shower at YMCA and work at coworking space. $300/mo personal burn. If you could combine the two you’d fill it 100% and make SF possible again. http://www.slate.com/blogs/quora/2013/08/01/financing_a_startup_i_lived_in_my_car_to_save_money.html …pic.twitter.com/hq3UWxMtiM

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

If you had capsule hotel + shared coworking space + kitchen you could make SF on a budget possible. Maybe coworking space not even needed. Perhaps extreme, but right now there are entire classes locked out of Silicon Valley that shouldn’t be.
