At the same time, on a personal level I feel like people should be able to share their living space with whoever they want. I wouldn't like living with this group, and I'm certain they wouldn't like living with me, but I've got nothing against them deciding that's how they want to live.

It sounds like the 21st century silicon valley obsessive version of a commune, a long California tradition.

Best of luck to 'em, is what I say.
