The shared housing company is renting “sleeping pods” at $800 a month, where people sleep in a chamber within a room that is a bit wider than a twin bed but more than tall enough to sit up in.

It was Palo Alto’s “pod house,” and for $800 a month that included utilities and Internet – with no security deposit or first or last month’s rent – it fit Manjappa’s budget.
