@Tim LoughristWelcome aboard the vibrant BP community.

Some are vibrant, but some are dying.

@Diya Rs very low rehab = very low if any cashflow in Austin right now and really anywhere that has a vibrant market in my experience

Basically any high income employees that wanted the breathing room of the suburbs/mixed-use with vibrant commercial activity and didn't mind the 30-40 min commute into downtown SF would live in Walnut Creek or Pleasant HIll.

There's a whole science to encouraging vibrant, sustainable communities, and turning MFRs into mini-hotels ...

I'd like to see us develop a list of good questions that we could use to weed out trouble makers, yet still help us maintain a vibrant community of diversity.
