San Francisco's Tech Workers Squeezed into $700/month Bed 'Pods'

Tech workers in San Francisco are paying up to $900 a month to stay in tiny bed "pods" made of wood and steel, which can only fit one twin bed. The pods, created by Brownstone, do not have a full kitchen or laundry machines, but residents have access to shared bathrooms and common areas.
