“Became a big hit with tech workers” lmao that’s fucking stupid. There’s just nowhere to live that’s remotely reasonably priced in SF. This is like one of the only choices if you really don’t want a roommate.

The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?

Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something

It must smell so horrible in there, with all those brands (farts) mixing together.

Sorry - I mean like a roommate in a college dorm, wherein you share a room. Because there’s approximately zero chance that one could find a private room to rent in SF for $700 or less.
