They should AirBnB these units out. this guy creates a whole new revenue stream for Caltrain. This story is pretty crazy, this guy built not one but two secret livable apartments with bathrooms and kitchens inside daily, actively used train stations?

Many of the CALTRAIN stations have a historic Southern Pacific station building that's not used much. They're from the days of ticket windows and luggage service. Palo Alto has a cafe in theirs, and used to have a bike shop. San Carlos has a cafe. But Burlingame wasn't in use.

If he'd built the thing with his own money, it wouldn't be so bad. But he stole the money for the job.
