If you're living in a place where renting a pod with less space than a prison cell costs nearly as much as a studio somewhere else... move.
I don't know. If I were young and single and fresh out of college with a six figure job offer at a San Francisco company, I would consider this, at least until I got my footing.
Sure, it might suck, but I could put up with a lot of suck in order to be able to pocket that much spare cash.
I'm very far away from "young," but I was once. Even in my early 20s, this would have seemed terrible. Sure, you have access to an interesting city, but you have no space for anything you can call your own. Even a rented studio anywhere else gives you somewhere to have a home you can call yours.
