I know what a pod is. I understand if you don't want to live in one. I also don't want them banned. Because if you're fucked it's a cheap place to live while you get yourself back together. Or maybe you're fine if you only want a spot to crash and can live your life outside a real home. Or if you work in the city, sleep there four nights a week and head to your rural house for the weekend.
In this case that room is mostly wasted space, there's barely room to put your shit and it costs almost a grand a month. If pods were allowed (and not regulated to death) in NYC they might cost a tenth that. That'd give you over $800 per month additional to play with.
