An update on the Palo Alto house: All of the original residents (including myself) have moved out. However there are 8 new coders (mostly YC S09 I think) moving in for the summer. There's probably going to be availability in the fall if anyone's interested. Email Jared Tame to organize: jmtame at google's email service.

Also: If anyone wants to start a HH in their local city send me an email: my first name @odio.com.

Is there a point in starting a HH outside of the Valley?

Or were you referring just to other cities in the area where people might want to do this?

Sure. Starting a HH outside the valley is a great way to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the people you're interacting with.

I attempted an early version of the HH when I was in Charlotesville, VA. I met several great coders through the house (and ended up applying to YC with one of them).

I'm writing this from my bed in Charlottesville...

didn't you guys just move in like 3 months ago?

Yes. The lease was for 4 months. Since most of the house was YC W09, they all left after the round. Three of us moved to the city (and are starting the SF house).
