I don’t disagree … note that I don’t live in one of those “hacker hostels” and have ZERO desire to do so! Though I’d say that living in one is more like living as a peasant than as a “hermit.” I find nothing romantic about the idea, especially since most of the romance going on in those spaces is likely to be bromance.
This being said, if I found the right space and felt I could get away with it, I’d be more than happy to RUN a “hostel” till the landlord gave us the boot. Note that most people who made it big during the gold rush did so by supporting the miners, not by mining themselves. And that’s the way it usually is.
Disagreed about the stick shift track car, though. The day I get an automatic will be the day after my left foot gets cut off in a tragic accident. Automatics are for people who can’t drive 😀 I’d tolerate two pedals in an electric car, that’s about it.
