Seriously, how naive, have they ever heard a newborn crying non-stop or a toddler going off on a tantrum? Might disturb the karma a bit!
There really is nothing new here, ask any impoverished artist living in a plasterboard cubicle in a warehouse with ten others, it's just a different group of people with common interests choosing to live together.
Having room-mates does not make a "commune".
A "do-ocracy" is simply figuring out how to live together
Working at a tech firm or using the Internet all day does not make one a "hacker".
Having been in one of the bigger places before, and seen the state of the communal areas (washroom), the paper-thin walls, the constant coming and going of strangers, I would advise only the young, sociable and tolerant to live there.

- yapcguy 13y agoPerhaps they have $130 million but they're lonely. They have nothing in common with most people their age, who must make decisions with monetary constraints, and can't fly off to Goa at the drop of hat. So they surround themselves with young folk to stay human and connected. They probably also know they got lucky - they won the start-up lottery. They may have a deep desire to validate themselves, to prove they deserved their fortune, so they surround themselves with young entrepreneurs full of great ideas, as part of a new-found mission.
