- thehigherlife 17y agoWhat is the 'hacker house'?
- hyperbovine 17y agoFast internet and a large freezer.
- jmtame 17y agothe freezer isn't even that big. it's more like fast internet and a microwave (for your ramen noodles)
- djcapelis 17y agoThere's six million jobs boards for different tech communities, but we don't really have a good housing board. Perhaps this post speaks to a need for one. http://news.ycombinator.com/housing http://news.ycombinator.com/housing perhaps? :) Meanwhile, I suppose submitting it as an article is inventive, if probably annoying for anyone not near Palo Alto.
- mpakes 17y agoI really wish this existed. As a person hunting for a good place to live in SF, such a resource would be really handy. I've considered posting an 'Ask HN' looking for potential housemates, but didn't want to pollute the stream.
- jasonlbaptiste 17y agoI would pay for this in a heartbeat. I finally moved to silicon valley because I found some startup people to live with. Moving across the country is a hard thing and having people around you makes it 1000x better.
- gaustin 17y agoCheap rent. Great location. If I had any job prospects in Palo Alto, I'd be there in a second. Hell, moving there on speculation wouldn't be a terrible idea.
- storborg 17y agoWhat is your internet connection, and how much does it cost you? Inquiring fellow Palo Altans would love to know.
- jmtame 17y agoif they kept it the same when i left, 16mbps from comcast at $30/month (or $60, i think it went up because the promotion was a limited time thing)
- dwynings 17y agoRoom went quickly! Thanks
- dangrover 17y agoHow did you get rent so low? When I lived there (big bedroom by the front door), I had to pay $700/month.
- jmtame 17y agoi was paying $350/month when i was there because i lived in a room with 2 other guys. it wasn't too bad for our group because everyone had day jobs, so we had the place to ourself for most of the time.
