This is just a shittier capsule hotel like they have in Japan. At least there they don’t charge you an arm and a leg for it.

Wikipedia article puts the pricing in Japan between 18 to 36 USD per night. That's a range between 540 to 1080 USD per month. That makes San Francisco pricing average.

You can't really compare a per night pricing to a per month pricing. Per month is always cheaper that per night but you loose the flexibility.

Anyway the price difference makes sense because SF housing is more expensive than Tokyo.

Ooh good call! I was misremembering the price!
