      The first one isn’t for living in I don’t think, just renting a place to sleep short term. Which, if anything, isn’t that basically just the old idea of a hostel where someone can rent a bunk in a dormitory style room, but with a bit more privacy?

        People do end up living out of the capsule hotels, it’s not common but it’s a step above being homeless

          In which case, the existence of the hotel still isn’t a bad thing, because without them the alternative would just be being homeless unless the economic conditions leading to that are fixed, and if they were fixed, people living in one long term wouldn’t be likely to occur anymore anyway.

      The first one is a capsule hotel, which is basically a more luxurious hostel. More privacy, sometimes lockable, but doesnt block snoring noises :(
