But if you are going to build a pod why not build a slightly bigger pod that fits you?

It looks like there is a hinged floor that folds down and is covered by a tarp. That should get to about 80"

Ah, you're right. That's not at all clear without parsing through all the instructions - there should really be a photo of one set up.

I personally want to give folks proper housing. Minimally a room with a private bath and lockable door with shared kitchen spaces (if one is single) or proper housing for a family.

But if a dry and possibly secure pod was what I had available, I'd take it. If I had the choice of one that allowed me to move around more and stretch out, I'd take it. If I had the choice of indoor plumbing, heat, and so on, I'd take it.
