Pro tip: xfinity is your friend.
The reality is that everyone can do this. And why not? The big problem with this model, though, is lack of property taxes. And parking spots.
I would happily pay for X per month for a nice parking spot though and my fair share of property taxes. Ok, maybe not happily, I have to admit I do enjoy free.
What will be really interesting for this model is when we get self driving cars.
- lowglow 10y agoCan confirm. Was crashing in my van around Palo Alto outside of Social Capital's office for a bit. I wrote a few articles about them: https://medium.com/@sinkorswim/one-free-night-425196d2e2fc#.falq0bwuc https://medium.com/@sinkorswim/one-free-night-425196d2e2fc#.... I basically founded my entire new startup and team while homeless. It sucked sometimes, but it was an experience. Would I recommend it to everyone? Probably not hahah, but if you're brave enough you should try it at least once. :)

- jsmthrowaway 10y agoI know of someone who does this and he uses Google's (his employer's) facilities. Given the forum we are posting on, I'd wager it's a safe bet for anyone making that much to have similar facilities accessible to them. Enough employers have "apartment" amenities now that it's starting to become a cool social experiment about urban living in some ways.
