Like many parts of the world, whole family to one room.

So, 2-3 bedroom house? Well, 7-8 adults all pitching in $400 and you can make that house payment.

smart business lady, charge what the market will bear. What's a lousy $40 bucks?

Live it up!

It's a vision of a dystopian past, when tenements, flophouses, and SRO "hotels" were in every city.

As a result of immigration policy, we've recreated the social dynamics of 1900-1920 America.

OK, finally got to the part of the vid where they talk about price. $40-50 a night! I think I'll keep using my tent and camping. $1200 a month for a bunk bed-quite a racket to run.

Thanks for the correction.

This whole thing is ridiculous. That will cover a mortgage in many parts of the country.

So a hostel?

I don't think anyone is staying in the PodShare units long-term. In the video clip, the young lady said people stayed from a few days to in some cases a few months.
