Ask HN: Living in a hacker house – Is it worth it?
3 comments
The Embassy, SF really fits the bill. It's beautiful. http://embassynetwork.com/location/embassysf
My own place that I can maintain, decorate and arrange how I like, walk around without worrying about my state of dress, cook what I please, keep the joint vermin free.
Vs.
Living with a bunch of scruffy fellows who can't, or won't, clean up after themselves, who attract ants.
How is that even a hard choice to make?
First thing to buy for your new place is a cast-iron skillet. Season it, take care of it, and you'll have a great bit of cookware you'll use for the rest of your life.

It's much like the issue for those who go to STEM Universities, dorm or off campus housing. And I would choose off campus every time, nothing worse then living in someone else filth and having to tell someone every night that they should turn down the music/tv/yelling because you need to sleep for work/class tommorow
Its great for networking, parties and meeting cool people etc, but the place is not being maintained.
After living somewhere for a while, it's hard to maintain perspective. If you had a choice to live in poorly maintained living conditions but with cool people, vs living on your own in a studio, what would you choose? Does anyone know of hacker houses in SF that have decent living conditions (preferably with seperate bedrooms)?
