If by 2035, the mainstream media (NYT, WaPo, CBS, Fox News, AP...) report that the United States or Canada has imported the Hong Kong practice known as cage aparatments, this market resolves to YES.

(Per GPT-4: A "cage apartment" in Hong Kong refers to a form of extremely small and substandard housing, often only a few square meters in size, in which individuals live in metal cages stacked on top of one another. These structures are typically found in older buildings and are partitioned off into small living spaces, sometimes sharing common facilities like bathrooms and kitchens with other residents. Due to Hong Kong's high population density and skyrocketing real estate prices, cage apartments are sometimes the only affordable option for low-income residents.)

I may bet on this market.

"cage homes" sounds a lot more dramatic than "lockable bunk beds in shared dorms" which is how I'd describe the pictures.

Do capsule hotels expanding into considerable fraction of real estate count? They don't seem all that different except the glamour painted surfaces vs nets and cages.

@a2bb only if the mainstream western media report it as a form of import of Hong Kong cage homes
