People do end up living out of the capsule hotels, it’s not common but it’s a step above being homeless
Crazy thing is many of them have full on onsens

Nowa Huta: The city that went from communism to capitalism
Once a failed post-WW2 utopia, Krakow's Nowa Huta neighbourhood has found a new lease on life and is slowly emerging as a tourist destination.https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20220112-nowa-huta-polands-utopian-socialist-city

Its real. ln Japan or Singapore the "capsule hotel" is a budget travel option. Is it better than hostel? Not likely but ymmv.

Idk, i think they're pretty nice. You get a tiny bit of private space and it's bigger than it looks. Also pretty cheap.

Living on a flat is not that fun.
Spain is one of the western countries with more flats instead of individual houses.And it's reported that a big chunk of Spaniards live with noise issues which affect our health in a negative way.
Hearing your neighbors all the time in the supposed tranquility of your own home can be mind breaking.

Don't eat bugs, don't give up your houses, don't drink your own piss, don't stop using your gas powered yard equipment.
the ultra rich ride around in private jets multiple times a day, waste an absurd amount of drinking water, own dozens of mansions each and will never give up on eating real food

The main point is that all people have homes, instead of sleeping and dying under the bridge

Our entire society is hostel to the unhoused.

If all you need is a cheap private place to sleep, it's ideal. It's only if you plan to spend any more time than that there that they suck.

OK. here is my incredibly weird perspective on those pods. I like them. Recently I even stayed in one and the only complaint I have is that they are made of plastic and would squeak horrible whenever the person above me moved. I like small enclosed spaces, they make me feel safe, and if the pod was made out of wood or concrete then I would absolutely live in one, as long as there were adequate services nearby: like a kitchen and a bathroom.
They don't take up a lot of space allowing for more people to live in a single house. They offer enough privacy to be comfortable and as an anarchist I welcome the chance to live alongside other people. My apartment is a mess because I cannot bring myself to clean it. Having other people to share responsibilities with would solve that.
::: spoiler a political rant
They way we live reflect our politics. Every moment of our lives we are interacting with society. The way we interact reinforces our behaviours. Living in an apartment with just your family or a couple of room-mates reinforces individualism. It forces everyone to do everything equally because you could change who you're living with. You cannot divide up chores to the ones you're comfortable with because everyone should do everything.I would love to live in a socialist living space that had these pods (not made of plastic of course), because it would allow me to live my life in a way that feels more in line with my ideology and beliefs. We are not just individuals looking out for ourselves but a collective, a society.
(Anyway it's rather late writing this and if I had any good sense left I would delete it for being too much but fuck it)
