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.

bring it back to OT you two
you gotta love the inventiveness of these guys! and the entrepreneurship of the person renting out of the backyard!
I wouldn’t mind a couple of teepees full of Shinnecocks.
Haha – I know Dave. I don’t even like having people like this in my apartment, as I don’t want their bed bugs jumping onto my couch from their clothes.
I was waiting for the pitching tent rewrites after I posted the first time.
dh…I wouldn’t want the hipsters. I’d prefer the illegal Latinos. You should know that by now. Besides, I bet they’d keep the place a lot cleaner. Ever been in any apartments of illegal Mexicans??? The women who stay home to cook and vare for the children keep them absolutely spotless.
Dave – don’t you have an infrequently used property somewhere out of state you could turn into a hipster commune?
I’m sure you could fit at least 1,000, and you’d be doing everyone a favor by getting rid of a bunch of hipsters.
“I like boys pitching tents in my backyard”
This has sooooo much rewrite potential!!!!!!! Especially for me!!!!
Ahhhhh…its Bushwick. Who cares? 🙂
