What a leach!!!
I wouldn’t even want to know or meet the creep!
Sounds like a way to meet new (dangerous) people. Hitchhiking isn't safe, especially for women.
Not only does she have to hustle for her work, she has to hustle to get around, on one side of the ferry anyway.
Good for her. though, I think she is KuhRayZee to spend 3 hours a day commuting.
But, if it works for her that’s her choice.
I wouldn’t do it. I have better things to do with my time.
I’m a little disappointed in this article. There are some interesting stories in it, but when I saw the title I was looking forward to an article that included some detailed financial assessments of all the costs of owning assets vs. renting or “sharing” them.
I always love these articles about a small subculture of goofs that then extrapolate this as the future for all Americans. Who does this lifestyle?
Leftist, vegetarian, neo-hippies without kids. They’re generally in their early twenties and in the CA tech business. They’re 100% urban and believe that shared ownership is better.
But, who in their right mind would live this way when you can own a car for $10 a day?
Why doesn’t she just take MUNI, or a cable car or a cab?
Silly Yuppie.
WTH is the “social innovation industry”?
“No Mom and Dad, I’m not unemployed. I’m an entrepreneur in the social innovation industry.”
I noticed she is "parking" HER Mini Cooper. Why not leave the keys in it she others can share? Catching rides with strangers is looking for trouble. I feel the same way about renting rooms to complete strangers. Having roommates in a college dorm is one thing. It's a more or less controlled environment. Opening your home to who knows who is another.
Thank God I live in the country!
