sitting at noisebridge right now: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge

this is almost what i had in mind, only my version has bedrooms, showers, and allows pets.

noisebridge kicks ass. it's a giant hacker studio. i've never been here before. if you're a hacker and live in san francisco, you owe it to yourself to just show up here at least once.

i will be here for awhile tonight if anybody wants to chill out.



Noisebridge has had some issues (actually ongoing issues) with people that treat it as a living space, or just "forget to take the last BART" with suspicious regularity. Maybe your idea would solve that problem. Or maybe it would exacerbate it, not sure.

Unrelated: there's also another movement called "cohousing" which tries to strike a middle ground between the post-WWII standard of one-family-per-house, and communes that tend to have a complete lack of privacy.

Or if you're anywhere else, check out your local hackerspace (the general term for something like Noisebridge): http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/
