Can somebody please start a co-living startup that actually increases the quality of housing for the money instead of decreasing it?
"I have a great business idea -- you can rent a bedroom on Craigslist for about $1,200 a month, so let's add bluetooth and charge $2,000 a month!"
These people are parasites and they need to be stopped.

I guess that's the only way you can get venture funding for a project like this. The corollary is that if a great, cost-saving, truly cooperative tech house actually gets founded, you won't hear about it on HN.
