thesyndicate··on Common: Co-Living Startup from a General Assembly Founder
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.

thesyndicate··on Google Maps/Yahoo Maps: Why Aren't NYC & Wash., DC on the Default Map?
This post is yet another example of the incredible inferiority complex of the New York tech scene.

thesyndicate··on If Silicon Valley Moved to New York
The post is focused on 20-somethings who want to live in an urban area. Manhattan is somewhat analogous to San Francisco; it tends to have a high concentration of young people who want to work in tech and startups.
