I'm such a novelty whore: I bashed my email address in the form on nothing more than the headline here. Sounds like a fantastic idea, though.

We should put together a HN equivalent of couchsurfing .. and on that note, I have two sofas in San Francisco that are free until I move the middle of august! There seems to be a small but growing movement of nomads. The first I met was @ioerror and at least in the way he travels he was quite inspiring. My personal goal with every move for the past three years has been to reduce my amount of "stuff". When I moved bac…
hey, tried to find your contact info, so going to briefly write here: a) Would love to put together an HN equivalent of couchsurfing b) @andreshb and I are thinking of spending a while in SF, so curious to talk more about the sofas :) j@jasonlbaptiste.com

If the Zipcar analogy holds, then the company will own the apartments and there will be no permanent residents.
The way they word it makes it sound like that isn't the case, though. It's possible that by "access to a network of places to stay all over the world" they mean access to a network of places they own and operate, but I'd take it as hinting otherwise. The "places to crash" and "instant friends" especially makes me suspect that these apartments will be owned by other people, possibly even inhabited by them? But it's ra…
One thing I've noticed while posting for a sublet is that there's a lot of "scrap" left over in housing both demand and supply. My landlord required 60 days notice, so after the premature ending of my last project, I'm on a lease for two months I don't need. There are tons of people who have gaps between leases and need housing for the odd month or two, and there are tons stuck with ends of leases they don't want. La…
Nearly all residential leases prohibit subletting (and essentially make the renter liable for the rent for the entire lease period, regardless of actual use.)
If you could find a way to solve that problem, that would have a great deal of value. However, like I said, the big stumbling block (and why this problem has yet to be solved) is that nearly all leases prohibit subletting.
It seems like the places I really want to visit often feature a significant lack of RV parks, and also often prohibit overnight street parking.

Alright, so I need this service ASAP. I'm basically spending the next few months travelling to different startup areas before settling down. My lease ended in Miami and I didn't want to commit another 12 months to somewhere. There's certainly a need for shorter term housing that isn't an overpriced overabundant extended stay. I was quoted like 90 bucks a night for an extended stay AND another 5 bucks for wifi. That's…

I'm a confused user: The field didn't tell me what I should put in, so I just typed Bob and it worked.
