Brownstone Shared Housing is the brains behind a creative “solution” to San Francisco’s overpriced housing market: communal living pods.
San Francisco, known for its breathtaking views and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, has become a symbol of extremes.
The California housing crisis has reached such a fever pitch that it drove a mass exodus from the state. While the $500 to $900 monthly price tag might seem steep for what essentially amounts to a glorified row of bunk beds, packed in with other people like sardines, it’s a relative bargain compared to other rental options in the city.For $900 a month, you could secure a full-fledged studio apartment in major US cities like St. Louis, Cincinnati, or Nashville.
According to property-finding website Zillow, the average San Francisco studio apartment commands a staggering $2,200 a month, while in Palo Alto, the heart of Silicon Valley, the median studio apartment rents for even more, at $2,300 a month.Despite their diminutive size, these tiny living spaces offer basic amenities such as charging stations, LED lights and individual climate control systems.
