And do you think all that is sustainable??? For Common to be profitable it should be charging you way more than 250 market rate.

Though the person you are replying.. was uncouth in how he was saying his thoughts. There is validity in those thoughts.

I do think it's sustainable - you need to kind of see the house to understand, but they get 19 rooms into a building that would normally have 14 or 15. They can do this because of the way they organize common space all onto 1 floor, like a dorm. They sold out of all 19 rooms in the first building before they even hit TechCrunch - if they can keep occupancy approaching 100%, they'll be in great shape.
