About

I have lived in shared housing almost all the thirty-years of my adult life.  I have lived in city triple-deckers, suburban ranches, and an older (almost) Victorian single-family house. I have been both the person seeking housing and the person offering housing.

In my years of sharing housing I’ve developed principles and practices for finding and keeping good housemates. I definitely have opinions about what works and what doesn’t. The majority of my experiences have been positive.

Sharing housing just makes sense. Now that so many people are really struggling to make ends meet, it makes even more sense. My hope is that this blog will help readers live comfortably with others. I’m hoping to have my book on finding and keeping good housemates available soon.
