Rent in the Bay Area is so unaffordable that some are resorting to living in a shared home where 14 residents sleep in pods a bit larger than a twin bed.

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Rent in the Bay Area is unaffordable for many people, especially if they're starting a new job or working as an intern. A new concept -- sleeping in small, individual pods in a shared house -- is being tried in Silicon Valley.

The pods are outfitted with a temperature-controlled fan, lighting, a fold-down desk and whatever personal touches they'd like to add. Christina, who designed the pods, says she can cocoon here all day, as do others. Residents are all in their 20's, getting started or doing internships. Luis Alsonso from Peru loves access to the kitchen. Sleeping in a pod is fine.
