The San Francisco man who lived in a plywood box in his friend’s living room has violated local housing laws, forcing him to leave his friend’s apartment, according to city officials.
City officials pressured Peter Berkowitz, 25, to take down his pod and move out of his friend’s place. The pod, which was built initially because it was a “solution” that worked for him, took Berkowitz nearly three weeks to complete.
The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is $3,460 a month.
