Tell me why a room-and-board-and-bandwidth incubator is a stupid idea
keenerd: One huge issue: zoning.How many people per house?  Unless it is zoned for apartments, you are going to have a rough time.  Many places have rules against N unrelated people living in the same building.  I think in my township it is 2, or some really low number.That said, there was once a block of cheap apartments in NYC for musicians only.  Lots of great talent and big names came out of it.  It can work, but I'd read up more on this major precedence.  (Arg, google is failing me.  I know it is hard to find good old apartments in NYC, but this is just silly.)You should have a pay-extra-rent-to-retain-your-company option.
