A Barcelona company has sparked outrage with a
plan to rent out tiny pods where low income workers would live side by side like bees in a hive
for as little as 200 euros ($232) a month.
The company argues that the project, called Haibu, which means beehive in Japanese, is a solution to a shortage of affordable housing in the Catalan capital. But Barcelona city hall has refused to issue a licence for it, saying such tiny accommodation is unfit for humans.
"Fortunately piling up people is prohibited. The law does not allow this type of dwelling," Barcelona mayor Ada Colau, a former housing and anti-eviction activist, told reporters on Thursday.
