why would someone choose this over living literally anywhere else?

Proximity/price and community. Anything in SF proper is going to be, at minimum, 2-3x more expensive. To get this kind of price, you'd need to commute from outside the city.

Re community, the people that live at this kind of place are generally grinding super hard in the tech industry. So trying to live with like-minded workaholics in the same stage of life.

Source: I have lived in SF and east bay, both in places like this, and renting an apt the normal way.
