Are you considering the scale of the building and the lack of access to outside? Imagine, the pod next to your's, deep in the interior of the building with only two entrances/exits, accidentally starts a fire. Or houses a crazy person who keeps defecating in their waste-bin. Just imagine the CO2 levels and lack of oxygen, even without the other environmental issues!
I, too, value communal shared spaces. A giant block with no natural light or fresh air, for $300k per tiny unit, is not the way to do it.
As a new building I assume it will have proper air supplies to each room...
And lighting can totally be artificial if it is sufficiently bright to be akin to sunlight. If I can't get sunburn off it, it isn't a suitable sun-substitute.
These people will still have access to the outside, where there will hopefully be a large park all around.
