[extropy-chat] Silicon Valley pod villages?

[Hara Ra]

Oh, Snow Crash....
Prices in valley too low, plus transport system is auto based, no 
reasonable bus or commuter trains. Try again in 15 years. Also, local 
building code probably can't distinguish between pod hotels and homeless 
encampments. If you can put up with the commute, a tarp, sleeping bag and 
remote redwood tree works fine. Bit wet, but so what?
