$700 a month to live in a coffin where you can't even have sex.

    If you’re living in a place where renting a pod with less space than a prison cell costs nearly as much as a studio somewhere else… move.

    Oh man, I loved this part of Hengsha in DX:HR. Such an exaggerated and creative depiction of a hypercapitalist, dystopian hellhole.

    I don’t support this, but I could definitely have sex in one of those.

    Based on that picture alone, there are 24 pods. So 24 x $700 = $168k per mo or over $2m a year.

    Edit: oops! Tried to math too late at night.

    24 x $700 = $16.8k per mo or over $200k per year
