Man Moves to San Francisco, Pays $400 Per Month to Live in Plywood Box

A man from San Francisco is living in a plywood box in his friend’s living room—for $400 a month.

Peter Berkowitz, 25, built an 8-by-3.5-by 4.5 “bedroom pod” that took him nearly three weeks to complete.

At first, the San Francisco-based illustrator wanted to split a two bedroom apartment with a friend, but, as the rent was still too high, he figured a bedroom pod would have to do saying, “The pod is just a solution that works for me.”
