Kay Wilson packed up her life in a rush and moved to Los Angeles… solely to search out that what she paid in Pennsylvania for a pleasant studio condo would solely get her a 2.9-square-meter field in California. Her new house is a capsule, impressed by the well-known motels in Japan. AFP stories:
Every room accommodates as much as six capsules, which Wilson describes as “cozy.” They comprise a single mattress, a bar for hanging garments, just a few compartments for storing sneakers and different gadgets and an air vent.
By most requirements, the lodging continues to be not low cost — $750 monthly plus taxes. That works out at round $800, which is barely greater than the 26-year-old was paying in Bethlehem, round 70 miles exterior Philadelphia.
“I couldn’t afford a studio on my own. In no way,” she informed AFP. “It’s $1,300 or extra.”
Jeremiah Adler, founding father of UP(st)ART, stated every capsule prices roughly half the hire of a studio in Los Angeles — the US leisure capital, and one in all its costliest cities.
