Evans and Talarico aren’t the only ones trying out something like this. Pure House, which The New York Times called a “Millennial commune,” is a Williamsburg apartment building that also creates a networking and social community for its residents. Krash is a startup that invites entrepreneurs to live in a shared living space for three to 12 months in Boston, New York, or D.C. to jumpstart their connections. Even WeWork, the massive coworking space, is planning on moving into shared living spaces, according to the The Wall Street Journal.

rob05c:

Almost all the single people I know my age live with roommates. In part because it's cheaper, but also, I think, because it's less lonely.

I'm something of an introvert, so the 2–4 roommates of a typical house or apartment is my ideal. I can imagine an extrovert wanting to live in a space like that. But I probably wouldn't want to visit.
