Why is this interesting?


b/c many yc companies live there. power and internet failures suck.


No biggie. I lose my Google WiFi here in Mountain View a couple of times a day for a few minutes, sometimes more--it's my enforced break time. I take the dog for a walk or go have a bubble tea at Verde. When I get back, WiFi is back, and I'm refreshed and thinking more clearly. Of course, on the occasions when it's gone down for more than a few hours, I get twitchy and nothing gets done. So, I guess a long-term power outage would be dramatic.


First the elevator and now this. And the rent is almost $3000 (Isn't it?). There is no better place? Where are the other yc companies?


The mission is way cooler. Better restaurants, cheaper rent. Justin.tv.


Seriously. There's nothing more un-SF than living in a high-rise apartment building with asshole landlords. It's much better to live in a 3-flat building with a near psychotic landlord for the real SF experience.


What's wrong with the landlords? I know nothing about this place but since I might move to SV I'd like to know why to keep away from it.



Is that the chance for non-YC startups to take over? ;-)

Are there no WLAN-enabled coffee houses nearby?
