There's six million jobs boards for different tech communities, but we don't really have a good housing board. Perhaps this post speaks to a need for one.

Meanwhile, I suppose submitting it as an article is inventive, if probably annoying for anyone not near Palo Alto.

I really wish this existed. As a person hunting for a good place to live in SF, such a resource would be really handy.

I've considered posting an 'Ask HN' looking for potential housemates, but didn't want to pollute the stream.

I would pay for this in a heartbeat. I finally moved to silicon valley because I found some startup people to live with. Moving across the country is a hard thing and having people around you makes it 1000x better.

What is your internet connection, and how much does it cost you? Inquiring fellow Palo Altans would love to know.

if they kept it the same when i left, 16mbps from comcast at $30/month (or $60, i think it went up because the promotion was a limited time thing)

Room went quickly! Thanks

Cheap rent. Great location. If I had any job prospects in Palo Alto, I'd be there in a second. Hell, moving there on speculation wouldn't be a terrible idea.

How did you get rent so low? When I lived there (big bedroom by the front door), I had to pay $700/month.

i was paying $350/month when i was there because i lived in a room with 2 other guys. it wasn't too bad for our group because everyone had day jobs, so we had the place to ourself for most of the time.

What is the 'hacker house'?

Fast internet and a large freezer.

the freezer isn't even that big. it's more like fast internet and a microwave (for your ramen noodles)
