Located in a former bank downtown, the facility has had 300 people apply for its remaining 17 rental beds

He said that the code-enforcement process, which involved transitioning the building in San Francisco’s struggling downtown from an office to a residential space, had been “really slow”, but that the company was working on opening a second, larger San Francisco pod location, with a total of 100 sleeping pods, “early next year”. Sider, of the city’s planning department, pushed back on that characterization, saying that Stallworth had not submitted his application until the end of July this year.
