If we keep regulating housing out of existence we are all going to be living like that.

Are they stack-able? Maybe San Fran and the State of CA should impose an occupant tax, and just "let em pack em in!"

Don't give them ideas, they already have figured out a way to tax the air we breathe with Cap & Trade, with the drought they have figured out a way to tax the water we drink. There is an old saying: "Government is a necessary evil", but they seem to have forgotten that they are evil.

conarb is in rare form today... still biting, but with a noticeable sense of humor. :applause:

Is the POD accessible? is it rented out?

If and Air BnB it is a commercial enterprise for public use and must comply with ADA, no?

The Japanese beat us to it.

cda, I'm guessing it has to do with when does a piece of furniture start to imitate a habitable sleeping room, or even a closet?

If they are in a fully sprinklered building, the solid plywood walls and ceiling of the box may prevent proper sprinkler coverage within the sleeping area.

Additionally, if sleeping rooms are required to have emergency escape openings, when does an enclosed sleeping box start to act like a non-compliant sleeping room?

Sounds like the SF powers have decided???

What is the definition of a habitable room? does not meet minimum dimensions.

Soild walls on this eenclosure, no natural light and ventilation, no readily aaccessible exit to the outside.smoke detectors

over crowding.

And maybe if it had a curtain on the open side, it would work

The only reason that this caught the attention of the AHJ is that it's well-to-do folks that did it. Every city in the USA has houses and apartments that are occupied by way too many people. I have seen two bedroom apartments inhabited by fifteen people. Bed sheets are hung from the ceilings in the bed and living rooms. There are entire neighborhoods that have been similarly packed with people. On trash day there are four and more garbage cans in front of each house.

As I recall, the sanitary sewer system of Daly City was overwhelmed many years ago.

So San Francisco officials got excited about some goofball and his box....they can't see the forest.
