(CNN) Housing costs have become so expensive in some cities that people are renting bunk beds in a communal home for $1,200 a month. A PodShare membership allows you to snag any of the 220 beds -- or pods -- at six locations across Los Angeles and one in San Francisco. Residents of the San Francisco PodShare think it's a better deal than apartments in the city. PodShare may not have as much privacy as an apartment, says Rayyan Zahid, 23, a software engineer living in San Francisco, but that's not a priority for him at the moment. "I think if you are not willing to share a small space with a stranger, PodShare is not for you."
