We're looking at putting together a hacker house within a 20 minute driving radius of Mountain View and I was hoping to gauge interest. Is anyone looking to move to/around the area in the next few weeks? There are a number of houses available and finding an apartment is a pain. Plus, living with like-minded individuals is always nice :)<p>Feel free to ping me at ainsleyb at alum dot mit dot edu
A lil off topic but somehow when I read this, the first thing that leapt to my mind is the LikeALittle HQ @ Palo Alto. Have you seen it on techcrunch?<p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/04/tc-cribs-likealittle-lal/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2011/05/04/tc-cribs-likealittle-lal/</a><p>I can imagine the sights and smells of your hacker house will end up somewhat similar to this guys within a few months of moving in.<p>Tip: It will be prudent to make sure the house is female-friendly. :)
If you end up finding enough interest, it would be awesome to know how this works out. Any chance you will write about this more in the future?<p>Also, this is when I wish that I was in the bay area instead of Middle-of-Nowhere, Midwest.
Awesome! I had a similar idea -- will email you.<p>Just a note, in case the primary motivator for getting a house is cost: most of the time, apartments are cheaper per bedroom than houses.
Genius idea! Would love to do something like that when I graduate - I don't feel like working for a big corp & earn piles of $$$, would love to start my own thing<p>I only gotta figure out how to tell my parents.. :p
