     @Varus @coolboymew Yeah, you see those in downtown cores all the time. This is not expected to be where anyone will "build their life", it's more of an owned, long term hotel room (with less services). Location is 95% of what you're paying for and it being small is an asset for some of the use cases (easy to keep clean).
     
     It's for people who need a few months to a year in a city and don't mind spartan living. For the guy who works hours away from home during the week and only goes back to his family house on the weekends. For the company who has employees fly out to a city all the time...
     
     In academic neighborhoods, they're for the wealthy (but not THAT wealthy) student willing to pay to avoid shared accomodations but won't spend too much time home anyway.

     @coolboymew people who pay for this probably work at the central financial district and make a lot of money to move somewhere else after

     @coolboymew Would be comfy and cozy if it were an inexpensive hotel for a short stay. Or a cabin on a ship.

     Except for that damn toilet right next to the bed!

     @coolboymew If you live in London and have to commute into the city center for work the commute alone can cost around £4600 (approx $5550) per year. Obviously if you live outside London and commute into the city it'll cost more.
     
     I'm not saying that shithole flat is good value or anything, but if you compare the rent to the cost of travelling into the city center every day it's certainly cheaper and quicker.
     
     That being said there's no amount of money that would make me live in London again. It was an absolute hellhole twenty years ago.

     @SADIDAS Can confirm it's even worse now. Perhaps the only difference is seeing it as an adult.

     damn that’s worse than SF I think (never seriously looked at apts in SF just extrapolating from what I know of nearby stuff)

     @coolboymew London travel passes are extortionate but the company that runs it all knows that people have no choice but to pay it.

     @coolboymew The cabal that runs London doesn't want affordable (or clean, or safe, or reliable) mass transit. They want to bleed people for every penny they can get.
