Huh, I could've sworn there was an HN submission where this company announced they were pivoting to a different business model. I remember being happy, because I thought "get poor people to pay to live in a poverty box in their betters' back yards" was the most dystopian shit I'd ever heard.
- sokoloff 4y agoRight after college, I lived in an illegal barely dry-walled off 1BR slice of a 4BR house and later in a (probably illegal) basement apartment in a split-level. They fit my budget/needs and were way better than being homeless. I don’t see the problem of people building housing to serve the left third of the economic distribution.
