How long before an enterprising startup starts selling virtual apartment addresses in the heart of SF?
- supernova87a 6y agoHow long before that startup gets sued by employers and state tax authorities for aiding in the establishment of false residency for personal gain?
- znpy 6y agoVirtual addresses are a thing already. It's used by business to pretend to have an office in city X (expensive) while actually working in city Y (or in a completely different country). It can also be used to provide an address coming from a fashionable/trendy part of the city. There are similar services that offer re-mailing services. Basically you pay a fee and have a fund for postages/stamps. Whenever mail arrives it gets re-packaged and re-mailed to your real address. It's basically proxying for real mail. I used reship.com multiple times to appear to be located in Oregon and overcome "we don't ship to your location" problems.
- mattmanser 6y agoI know, but not at all normal for residential.
- codingdave 6y agoAt least 40 years ago - Mailboxes, etc. first opened in 1980, and that was typically how I saw people get a street address in their choice of city.
