So, some things to consider when doing this:

Who am I working with? Am I comfortable with those same people having free access to my person and belongings while I sleep?

Do I trust these folks not to do something stupid that could damage the capital while partying? (I once had somebody spill a beer into an SGI workstation because we were using an apartment as an office, and one of our dudes threw a party.)

Can we deal with the weird interpersonal dynamics that spring up in a group of mixed sexes that is also collaborating on a business--presumably the same one paying rent?

Do I have a place I can go to to get away from work/home if needed on a reliable basis? Is it going to cost me all my money?

Similar story with our current living situation.

I think that having a community is very important in making any business venture--I would be unsurprised to see this emerge as a pattern in entrepreneurial ventures for folks our age.

What's "weird" about a nightly orgy?
