Ask HN: Why don't you live with your coworkers?

1 points by neiman1 ↗ HN
After having switched companies ~6 months ago, I was dead-set on living with coworkers as I think it helps to form stronger connections, and can be convenient when commuting to the same office, gym, etc. However, I found it way trickier than expected to find compatible roommates as I didn't know anyone at the company.

My friend and I recently started building a platform to try and address this problem, but we're keen to learn what it is that prevents other people from living or wanting to live with their coworkers.

Because I’m an adult.
Because work is work and personal is personal.
Many twenty-something co-workers do co-habitate. Then they get married, and that's the end of that.
