I would pay $1-2k/mo to have the ability to stay in any major city in the world. I wouldn't even sell my condo. This would be an extra luxury.
Funny companies wrap $#i+ in tech and call it the Next Big Thing—-Taxi hacks become Uber. Subletting becomes AirBNB—like, who knew being poor and having a lousy job and strangers in your house could be so hip. /rant
Disclosure. I’ve live in several SROs and they’re sad.
I'm imagining a scenario where I work remotely and visit different cities every month between returning home. Sort of as work tourism. Get to spend lots of time visiting other cities for largely just the cost of airfare, and still have enough budget to support your existing rent/mortgage back home.
I'm thinking you'd want something closer to cheap capsule hotel rates. It gives you the flexibility of not being tied down, but at the same time lets you maintain your life back home for when you want to return to it (since it's affordable). There's no hassle of searching for hotels that satisfy {safe,clean,cheap,accessible} criteria since you're in a network.
Imagine having these available internationally as a part of your subscription service.
I'd love to have something like this.
