A very long time ago I made a “sacrifice” by buying a duplex in deep, deep east Oakland to house hack.

Yes, if you have the resources, stamina and drive of Elon Musk.https://www.cnn.com/style/arti...After reading this article I think I overstated my case, a little.Here's a large company (deep pockets) looking to build a subdivision.
