How do startup makers live in San Francisco? A PHOTO

25-year-old Sander Dey pays $ 1900 per month to rent a seat in downtown San Francisco. Besides him, there are more tenant 40 in the house, as well as tenants, many of whom sleep on 2-tier beds.

He lives in the Negev, a communal living space for developers, programmers and other people working in the field of modern technology.

These communal apartments are located in an area known as SoMa or South of market , and became popular in San Francisco after the arrival of young professionals who face high rents and a shortage of apartments.

According to residents, the Negev has 3 floors and around 50 rooms with 2-tier beds, lots of beer bottles and laptops.

Dey was born and raised in New York. Last year, he received a degree in computer science and mathematics from McGill University. Unemployed, he moved to California 6 months ago and found his room in the Negev on Craigslist.

“I thought New York was expensive,” said Deya, who quickly landed a job as a virtual reality engineer at a consulting firm moBack. “It’s like we’re living in a frat house.”

“We are trying to solve the housing crisis through increased density in a positive way,” he added.

As the founder explained, the company chooses a building in low-income areas, rebuilds it to accommodate a larger number of tenants.

Sarah Sherbun-Zimmer, executive director of the Housing Rights Committee in San Francisco, said that “the Negev's communalization of affordable housing makes it unaffordable. “All they did was take the houses away from the people who owned them and push them away to make quick money,” she added.
