So it’s an expensive doss house. Funny how “Progressivism” always leads back to re-living past problems and everyone should now live in essentially Victorian era slums especially with diseases that had been wiped out returning and people living in close proximity in pods will be especially susceptible.

"Doss house" That's the term I was trying to recall. Many thanks!

Per Merriam Webster:
Doss House: A cheap rooming house or hotel; a flophouse (American slang/derogatory term)

“..expensive doss house.”

I thought your autocorrect had changed “dog house” which in context would also make sense! LOL.

Never heard of a “doss house” meaning flop house or boarding house.

AFAIK the pod cubicle rent doesn’t include meals, so considering occupants have no space to store groceries, they must buy restaurant food every meal— adding significantly to costs.
