(Emphasis mine):

> I lived with 3 roommates to save money, I sold my car, you won't get stabbed anywhere in SF (so live in the sketchy area it'll get nicer each year).

I'm not willing to test that theory and there's an inherent value to not thinking about getting stabbed on a daily basis.

> My rent was $1,200 a month, a lucky find.

To live with 3 other people in the sketchy part of town? Yeesh.

It's also not sustainable since, you know, most people eventually start families and settle down. Roommates don't work then.

Even if that's not you, you have to realize that everyone else needs that option if we're going to have a functioning community.

The SV "rationalist community" seems to think group homes work fine for married couples. Then again, they're almost universally swingers.
