It's Hard to Beat the Tent Rent
Here’s something we may start to see more of: Brokelyn reports that three enterprising recent college grads have avoided moving in with mom and dad by pitching a tent in the backyard of a friend’s Bushwick rental.

Here’s something we may start to see more of: Brokelyn reports that three enterprising recent college grads have avoided moving in with mom and dad by pitching a tent in the backyard of a friend’s Bushwick rental. The price? $100 a month per tent. The experience is not for the faint of heart, given that there are already six people crammed into the two-bedroom duplex. In all, that makes for nine people sharing one shower. All of a sudden, crashing on the ‘rents couch doesn’t sound too bad.

why all the hate just because they want to do something fun and ridiculous for a summer while they still can? because they’re kinda cute and not bitter yet?
Real hipsters go to NYU and live in tents in Williamsburg backyards. These are merely aspiring hipsters who probably went to CUNY.
All three tents are the same, is that included in the price? Every thunderstorm I’ll be thinking about these fools, hope there are no trees over their heads.
“No these was the pioneering Fucktards that was going to take over the Ghetto!”
If they are, they’re…let’s say, ill equipped. I think it’s pretty funny.
omgzors, it’s ‘illegal’!!! Who freaking cares? There’s already 6 of them living in a 2br duplex.
And for $2250 a month, I can see why. WTF, Bushwick? Musta been one of those ‘lux’ developments. hah!
I bet the whole lot of them – indoors and out – are tossed out by the end of the month because of this publicity.
There’s young and carefree, and then there’s just bone stupid.
Shanty towns. Nothing new. Widespread in fiscally challenged Cali. But but but…they said NYC was immune.
