Late stage capitalism? They were doing shit like this in the 1800s. It IS capitalism.

Like, seriously. It’s always been a thing.

In the 1800s, you could rent a space on a rope overnight so that you could drape yourself over it and have a place to sleep that night that wasn’t on the freezing, urine-soaked ground.

This has long been an issue.

Yea, in my city (where owning your apartment was pretty much impossible until 20th century), people rented out corners inside normal apartments.
