The key here is choice.
He chooses to live this way, which is cool for him. As Fight Club said, "the things you own end up owning you" so paring down belongings is appealing to me.
This guy, who doesn't even want to own enough belongings to fill the trunk of a car? Not for me, but more power to him for living the life he wants to live.
Some people want to own all the things, and if they can financially support that lifestyle, more power to them.
The WEF fuckers want to take that choice away from us. They want us all to live like this guy, "for the planet" or some other BS reason. Of course those rich fuckers aren't planning to give up any of the shit they own, that's just for the plebs.
I do think that he's being scammed--the things he's renting aren't worth nearly as much as what he's paying, but I can agree with most of what you said tbh. It actually sounds kind of appealing to be able to drop everything you rent without hassle and be able to swap to a different service in a heartbeat due to how modular you are. Physically, he's almost totally unencumbered, which I can see why people would like.
It probably is that costly, given where he lives. There are probably waiting lists outside the door of people willing to pay for something that cheap for the area.
The scam is just how high cost of living on the West Coast is in general.
