Founder here! Keep in mind that we provide laundry, utilities, and shared kitchen and bathroom supplies. We also host a lot of dinners and shared events / meals / etc for the community.

It's also month-to-month and furnished.

Founder here.

One, it's important have several different common spaces that are used in different ways.

Two, it's about setting specific guidelines about how those spaces are used.

Three, it's about selecting for people who tend to be inclusive rather than exclusive / cliquey.

So far so good.

Lots of things - mostly that we have the entire buildings rather than single units, which is particularly important in NYC where we're operating right now.

We also partner with real estate funds and investors to purchase vacant buildings rather than leasing units off the market.

No - subletting / listing a bedroom on Airbnb at Common isn't allowed. It's a pretty tight community of 19 people so your roommates would definitely notice.

Founder here! We were totally full when we opened in October. Our next building - also in Brooklyn - opens on January 10th.

Note: This has nothing to do with servers or the expansion of data centers in the United States.
