SF Hackerhouse has open rooms come April 1

Sadly, I'm one of the guys moving out (cross country move for/with the girlfriend). This place is in such an insanely amazing location, though. Highly recommended.

For a brief moment I considered abandoning my wife and son to go live here, be a badass hacker for the next year, kick ass in the next YC offering with a co-founder I meet here, then travel the world using rent-a-couch with my Mac PB always close by, releasing one cool version of our sw after another while keeping a widely-quoted blog.

Then reason prevailed (sigh).

Just total curiosity, but how many people typically live at Hacker House and how much shared/common space is there?

For the last year it has been 5 people in 5 rooms (though 2 people share 1 bedroom), so 1 room is left for a big shared office. There's a middle living area, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and roof access.

Are there other similar hacker houses in other locations? NYC?

It's hard to tell which of the photos are referring to which rooms. Is the 'closet' room pictured there?
