This reminds me of those stories of old England where there were warehouses filled with coffins and you could rent a coffin to sleep in if you were homeless. Or even better, if you are too poor for the coffin there were those houses where you can rent your place on a rope tied between two wooden beams, so you can hang ober the rope and have a good night's sleep until in the morning the owner wakes you up by cutting the rope.
