You know you made it in life when you get to sleep in the fancy pod
-
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.
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)

:::I don't mind the idea of sleeping in one of these pods, I agree they seem cozy enough if constructed well.
I mind not having space away from other people entirely for at least some of the day. Even a small room that is my own that other people can't just barge into or the like.

I spent one day almost entierly in my pod watching youtube, just like I would at home. For me the pod is my private space. But I understand that most people probably find it too cramped, I imagine in an actual living arrangement there would need to be private common rooms.

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
Why do people even use gas mowers??? What benefit do they have over a electric mower and a long cable

None of those are good options.

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.
I've lived my entire life in commie blocks and unless my neighbours were renovating I had no issue with noise. However, new apartment building here do have that problem, and it is very noticeable, so maybe the issue isn't with the concept of an apartment by itself, just the materials used in building them. Commie blocks are thick concrete and rebar.

Yes. Building quality definitely matters, a lot.
Also some people is more sensitive to noise than others.
I have find out that since living alone I notice noises much more, which is reasonable.
