Nathan31 Millennials, A Single House
To deal with the expensive rent prices, millennials have not choice but to get more roommates. Some of them have more roommates than you would expect. One group of 31 millennials decided to live in a 10-bedroom, French Victorian mansion in one of the posh neighborhoods there in San Francisco. An individual had to pay $650 for a bed that was shared by 3 people.
A Violation Notice
This house in a way operates like a commune of sorts and every housemate vows to share 1,330 hugs a week. This would mean they were quite close and comfortable with each other. But like all good things must come to an end, the tenants received a violation notice from the city’s planning department as there were far too many living there.
Sleeping In Conference Rooms
Martin Greenberg was to be quite honest, a homeless man. This guy did not have a home, even though he was appointed the CEO of the startup Bedly. It was quite ironic to see that the company actually helps people rent fully furnished homes on demand. Even though the company got to receive a decent venture capital, the CEO himself was spending night sin the conference rooms.
Ironic Situation
“You’d be surprised, the conference rooms were very comfortable,” Greenberg informed. “When you’re working late it’s hard to coordinate with friends whose couches you want to sleep on. … The sad thing was I run a housing company,” he jokingly revealed. It does look a little strange to see him not living in an actual house when he provides a home for so many.
Building Tiny Homes
College housing can take up so much from your wallet so Joel Weber decided when he joined University of Texas, to deal with this himself. Weber took out all of his $15,000 savings to build a tiny house in his friend’s Texas backyard. His friend allowed home to live there with no cost, which in turn helped him graduate college without any debt.
Taking Control
Do you want to know how much the University of Texas dorms cost? It was about $1,135 a month to live there. So if Weber had decided to live alone in a one bedroom downtown near his campus, then he would have to pay $1,913 per month. He could not let that happen so after looking for a solution, he found that the tiny portable house made sense the most.
