They say sleeping pods, I say those photos look like any backpackers hostel the world over only with a curtain around the bed. Only difference is anyone in a backpackers hostel knows it's temporary cheap accommodation and doesn't try to glorify it making it in to something it's not.

I rent in my country (first world) for 1000ish. I get a 60 sqmt home with garden And two rooms.
It saddens me that the usa startup culture gave us this.

Reminds me of the PGs in Bengaluru, but way worse since there aren't sound dampening walls.

You forgot a word in your headline.
“For $700 a Month, Sleeping Pods make SF more affordable, dystopian”
