Well wait a second, is picking your roommates carefully the same as the curation they are talking about here? Because it doesn't feel that way to me. It feels like they are trying to capitalize on the age-old concept of having roommates, and slathering on a thick coat of shiny lacquer in the form of a business model based on the painfully trendy idea of curation. I can't put my finger on it exactly, maybe it's just the article that's to blame, but there's something here that feels more akin to high school cliquishness than screening potential roommates, and that's what I'm objecting to.
