Reminds me of a plot of device of the 90's movie Shooting Fish where they were scamming businesses selling an AGI computer but were actually controlling responses with a human in another room.
Reminds me of a plot element of the difficult-to-find movie called Shooting Fish (1997) where 2 guys squat inside a giant water tower and turn it into their secret lair. (Yes, it's fiction.)
Meanwhile, mere mortals can't afford Bay Area rent and either commute insane distances, live in their cars, or leave.
In other news, people do sometimes live in surreptitiously in storage units. And if you're really very poor, squatting in property that is unused and locked up for investment purposes seems a moral duty.

I wonder if anyone else saw the movie Shooting Fish (1997) and the scene with the computer scam.
That's a subplot of the movie Shooting Fish. Selling AI computers that are really a human to scam investors.

Broken toasters aren't worth anything.
Curiously, there was a movie where this was a plot device. Shooting Fish (1997)
They appear to have stolen the plot of the film "Shooting Fish". Trailer - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120122/videoplayer/vi2760311065
