1200 a Month for a Bunk Bed?
Sadly millennials are being so exploited! $1200-1500 for a bunk bed? Is location worth that much? Some prisons have better set ups than this place. I wish some would open a recent history book, and figure out what life was like some yeas ago. Living this way is not normal. This by the way is far far more expensive then a European hostel. Think about it, this is 30,000 dollars for one month for just one room. Future as now slum lords couldn't be happier!
I like some aspects of co-housing but not prison camps and bunk beds with no privacy that cost as more than a Motel 6 private room in my area. One guy wrote as a comment, "Congratulations America you're now Japan". It looks they have drank the Kool-Aid. At least at the Mao commune, housing was free, you just put your hours of labor in, now you pay a lot for your prison bunk! I like some ideas of co-housing and community living but THIS, it's something else.

"Are you looking for podshare"
ReplyDelete"I am!"
BZZZT. Wrong answer!
$1200+/month to be a guinea pig? P.T. Barnum was right.
LOL I agree with them being suckers.
Deleteyes definite guinea pigs. No privacy not even a curtain. I wonder how a flu would work out, someone's got the puke pail out, the whole room starts barfing. Love how they call it PODSHARE, sharings a nice word, more like POD CAGE. The upper tier ones even have some horizontal bars. Well at least the prison would feed you too.
Horrific social experiment to turn us into sexless drones. Totallly against human nature. Not to mention being a captive audience for crapoy music!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking of the book 1984. Sex wasn't allowed, and I guess if everyone is shoved into prison rooms like this, sexless drones is the name of the game. yes there's no escape from the "music program" or ones determined by the "leader". Looks like a Jonestown set up, and perfect setting for a cult but instead of this time everythng being free for some work in the fields, it's pay up!
DeleteIt is sad that young adults would pay $1,200 for this horrible living arrangement. Their grandparents and great grandparents were homeowners and parents of babies and small children at their age. The only perks they could is a Tv set with internet access in front of each bed. Yes, there are no privacy and live. The landlord should consider running the airbnb business of renting a bed for a certain numbers of nights, based on what visitors and commuting students want (https://www.airbnb.com)). I'm glad I left LA years ago.
ReplyDeleteAll we have to do is look at past generations to know something is seriously wrong with this. Even in the great Depression the worse off had old farm houses or 2 room shacks. [Well maybe some were living in Hoovertowns but tent cities are happening today too] People could afford homes to raise children in and help build a community. They had places to garden, sew, and have a meal at a table. I think it's sad how they are all supposed to lay on their beds and just go online all day and there was a weird mention of some working from bed all day. I may spend a lot of my life in bed, not by choice, but to see healthy young people do it by choice is sad, and I would get sick myself in that situation, it's hard to explain, but I need the movement of even walking around this 800 square foot apartment. Even for a hostel it is overpriced. Yes there's no privacy. How could someone feel safe in that mess too open to every person and fall asleep? I never could sleep. The sexes are mixed which I think is insane. I'm glad you got out of LA too.
DeleteI feel for millennials, but I think it's time a few start speaking out against what they are supposed to "accept" as normal. Even in the 1990s I wrote against temp work in the homeless newspaper and read and supported Temp Slave and advocated for a few of the eroding rights. I didn't win, but hey I "tried".
