So I noticed this page four type story...over this commercial company....out of southern California, wanting to deliver a brand new idea.
The concept here is that you'd build this big 'dorm' facility for adults, which would be charging rent of a much lesser scale.
How big of a dorm? Well....they are suggesting a hundred people could be housed in this dorm of building, but then they kinda suggest that they all need a particular view of such living (a 'mindset').
The lack of privacy? In most of the scenarios that I've seen over the past year, with various groups trying this concept....there are 'pods' in each warehouse type situation where your bed resides, and the rest of the area is simply open space with couches, chairs, and dining tables.
I have this opinion over 'group-live' (similar to 'group-think), in that you could make this work as long as all members were marginal drinkers (never getting drunk), non-druggies, and without any paranoid schizophrenic behavior. They'd also have to be like-minded on politics, sports, agenda items, and desire to be around groups of people for the majority of their 'life-plan'.
Trying to make this work in the military, with barracks? I always noted continual disagreements and personality conflicts, and the Air Force eventually went to the simple plan of one-guy per room.....to avoid dealing with this constant bickering.
Long-term success with this idea? Maybe in the area of San Francisco and LA....you might be able to put up five to ten of these structures in each city, and find people who are desperate to live in a $300 a month group situation for a year or two.....to get around the high cost of living in urbanized California. Guys and gals will do 'stupid' things....when faced with unbearable costs.
The odds that you could run such an operation with 40 anti-Trump folks and 20-pro-Trump folks in the warehouse? Virtually zero.
Workable in other states? I have my doubts. If you arrived in Huntsville, Alabama and tried to interest folks in this....the response would almost laughed upon. For what you'd charge for a 'spot'.....the guy would respond that acquiring an RV and parking it in a trailer park.....would offer more privacy and be almost the same cost factor.
So I'll predict this comes around and survives for a couple of years, until some episode occurs with a major brawl, and some idiot suing his fellow occupants for insults or assault-action.

Five Take-Aways From Day One of the Impeachment
I've watched around 75 minutes of clips from yesterday....early here in the AM. So five things that I kinda noted:
1. All this effort by Senator Schumer....trying to add 'rules' with the amendment process? He's bluffing his way with a lousy 'hand of cards' and doesn't seem to have great luck with the extra rule business.
2. The suggestion of giving the Senators more subpoena power (another Schumer idea) on White House documents? It's going nowhere, and some folks point out that it's a strong indicator of the House sending over an incomplete package, which simply wasn't ready for action. There was homework required, and the House screwed up.
3. The suggestion of hoax material in the House package? Well, it's going to be a problem if this is proven. It'll just be another reason to end the whole thing in two weeks.
4. The fact that the first day session at midnight is still going on? I would imagine that more than forty of the Senators are tired, and they've not going to be capable of handling this type of environment for more than two weeks, before their wit and sharpness disappears. The fact that most of these Senators are over the age of 60? It just adds problems.
5. Bringing Bolten into the mess? Maybe they think they have some 'power'....but the President still maintains executive power and will 'trump' them on the passage of this idea. I have my doubts that Bolten will be appearing.
