One on hand, you've got Adam Neumann and his new startup providing new types of homes for the endlessly mobile young worker. On the other hand, you've got proposals like this one in Oregon, my home state, which has many problems.
HB2001, if I understand it correctly, forces all cities over 25k to allow multiple homes, duplexes and quadplexes, on any plot. But the problem is, you can't add them if you already have something on there, and try finding an empty lot in the Portland metropolitan area under $250k. I certainly did.
Sadly, I'm betting Adam Neumann will win here. Too much money to lobby and align with the tides.
i think the thing GP is talking about is a setup where you buy membership that grants you the ability to live in any of N places owned by the company. you have the ability to live in any of these as long as you want; you only move when you want to and it’s decoupled from your financial situation since your membership costs the same regardless of where you live.
on the other hand “displaced” usually means that you were pressured into moving. Neuman’s thing is new, so i may have misunderstood exactly how it works, but if i got the intent right then that’s how they differ.
