      i’ve lived like this and trust me you don’t want this. the place becomes infested with bugs and mold and the fridge becomes unusuable because it’s so full and you end up eating out way more which kills alot of the money you saved by living in a shithole.

      Plus god forbit you don’t wake up 2 hours before work and you have to choose between go to work smelling like shit or being 45 minutes late because there’s a line to the shower

        That sounds like you’ve substituted the word “nice” in the comment you’re replying to for the word “disgusting” and acting like they wrote it

          Not because it’s the source of the mold. Even if it’s a double-fridge, with 25 people you’re probably going to get it hopelessly filled.

              Having furnishings extensive enough to avoid all of the logistical problems involved here would mean basically being in an entirely different situation, because you need quite a lot to have 25 people not stepping on each other’s toes when all each of them has individually is a tiny bedroom.

        On top of all of that, such places are often noisy as hell because of Burgerland’s special cultural blend of “I got mine” brainworms

          Eh, I wouldn’t be so misanthropic about this.

          If you’re living in the slum conditions like I used to you aren’t some suburban parasite. You’re likely a broke ass student or a retail serf who is likely queer or an oppressed nationality.

          Sure can it get loud? Yes but any group of people forced into cramped conditions with shitty walls woulld get loud because people make noise and shouldn’t be forced into cramped conditions.

            It depends on location, then.

            Around here, “pods” are very noisy because they’re contaminated by trust fund cishet white failsons (that are indeed suburban parasites in denial) and the queer or oppressed nationality people that are in the mix get actively and aggressively harassed in such places. It sometimes makes the local news but nothing is done about it.
