Can you show me where you can get a capsule hotel for $10-13 per night? I have not seen this rate, you’d probably be looking as $25 per night minimum probably more. Most actually nice capsule hotels are a tourist attraction and are nearly as expensive as normal hotels.

I didn’t say it existed, I said it would be nice. I’m comparing it to current overinflated Manhattan housing prices, where a studio is approximately $2000-$3500 depending on the location. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that a minimal, efficient capsule residence could get down to $400 a month.

And monthly prices are always lower than hotel-style nightly rates, so that isn’t really relevant either.

Not a capsule hotel but your very own room (also Osaka not Tokyo) $9/night: https://www.booking.com/Share-IONY8u

Wow, those rooms are passable for that cheap, although clearly on the grimy side. I don't know how this place keeps from turning into a brothel.
