Really interesting, thank you for the deep dive! This feels like it could solve a lot of problems, but could it make people more lonely? We're more atomised than ever AND still glorify the indivdual, despite it making us pretty miserable. But you're so right on homelessness and even more than that: being single is a financial luxury nowadays and people are forced to give up their independence just so they can afford a roof over their head. I'm torn.. are PadSplit planning any community building activities?
In speaking with Atticus, intentional community building is not their priority. However, given that PadSplit members have more reasons to interact than in a traditional apartment, there is likely a better chance that it will make them less lonely by default.

Thanks! Seems like an obvious future growth feature.. just don't let Adam Neumann catch a whiff. He'll be on that like a rash.
