Why this CEO is worth almost $1 billion but lives in a trailer park

Clickbait title. It should read:<p>Why this CEO is worth almost $1 billion but lives in a trailer park he owns that is specifically for techy coder types

The NYT article this WAPO piece is largely based on is much more in-depth:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;19&#x2F;business&#x2F;at-zappos-selling-shoes-and-a-vision.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nytimes.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;07&#x2F;19&#x2F;business&#x2F;at-zappos-selling...</a>

He owns a luxury trailer park. Saved you a click.

Oh geez, not another multi-millionaire claiming he doesn&#x27;t need money, he would give it all away in a heartbeat when it comes to his &quot;endgame&quot;. For a lot of people with actual money problems the endgame is paying the hospital bill from an unprecedented emergency pop-in.

I think this is awesome. We need more communities built around people. Suburban development has lost its human connection. We sit secluded in our big homes and barely converse with nor know who our neighbors are.

&quot;I see my neighbors a lot more now than I did when living in a house in the suburbs or living in an apartment building&quot;<p>Hsieh seems to be obsessed with the idea of being forced to bump into the people around you all the time. I&#x27;m the opposite - I get a lot of pleasure from peace and solitude.<p>I think I would be miserable living in a situation like that for more than a very short time.

Living in Ireland amidst the housing crisis (rents shooting in the sky) I can only testify that we desperately need some kind of democratization and lower barrier to home owning. Not sure if that is a matter of outlook and politics as much as innovation but surely this seem to be looking in the right direction.

I think I would enjoy living like this, but probably not in Nevada. Maybe somewhere by a lake or a beach in New Zealand. And instead of a trailer, maybe a 1 or 2 bedroom cabin.<p>But the community bonfires and movies sounds really nice. I really like the idea of living in a community like this. Not a campsite or a holiday park, but an intentional community.

At this point it seems it&#x27;s a new season of a bad tech-oriented series.<p>Moving to a trailer park? Took his pet alpaca with him? Really?<p>Tony Hsieh jumped the shark right there
