I used to live with someone who had stayed at the Negev in the Tenderloin, and he took me to a party there. It's not something most people who are out of college would choose, and really is fairly close to something you'd see in a frat house. The rooms that I saw are about 12x15ish with two bunk beds each (so 4 people) IIRC. There was a large communal living room/kitchen area on the bottom floor that I didn't get to judge fairly because when I was there every surface was sticky with alcohol. Fun party though. He told me that most people go there to do a coding bootcamp who just need somewhere to sleep for a couple months, then move out after. Also people from out of state/country who found a tech job and needed to find a place very quickly, since trying to find housemates through Craigslist is a full time job itself. Very high turnover. He himself only stayed for about 3 months. Generally the people there are highly social compared to most techies and the average age was mid 20s, lots of people right out of college. It seemed like something that might be fun to do when you're that age, but gets old quickly. I think it definitely fills a much needed niche in the housing market and if you're sharing a room it's much cheaper than anything else you'll find. It's a fantastic place to make friends and connections if you're landing in San Francisco with none.
