"People talk all the time about what they dream of, and I decided to stop talking about it and just do it. I was looking for more meaning."
Said Carla Shiver, 38, who "divorced her husband, packed her Yorkie Pomeranian, Stanford, in the car and drove west" — quoted in "Dorm Living for Professionals Comes to San Francisco" (NYT):The idea of sharing a bathroom was initially alarming, but the pictures of the house looked nice and Ms. Shiver wanted to meet new friends. For $2,200 a month, she now rents a Starcity room with a queen-size bed, a bedside table and a chair....Boy, did it take me a long time to understand "And when we run out of tinfoil, there’s just more tinfoil." I had to ask for help. You see, in the dorm-style residence, all you have is a bedroom. There's a communal bathroom and there's also a communal kitchen, and the building has a staff that keeps up the supplies like toilet paper and "tinfoil."
“I’ve run a household; I’ve done the bills; I’ve mowed the yard, and I don’t want to be responsible again,” Ms. Shiver said. “I want to paint and learn how to make ramen noodles. And when we run out of tinfoil, there’s just more tinfoil.”...
I'm sorry but I come from a region of the United States where no one said "tin foil." We said "aluminum foil." When I see "tinfoil," I automatically think I'm dealing with the metaphor, the notion of the "tinfoil" hat, and I genuinely thought Ms. Shiver — love the name — meant that in San Francisco, you don't have to deal with reality — paying bills, mowing lawns — you get to shut yourself off to the troubles of reality and there's just more and more and more fantasy. San Francisco will give you all the "tinfoil" you need.
“I never thought I could live like this,” Ms. Shiver said. “But the more I live here, the freer I feel.”Okay. That is kind of nice.
She said she had not locked her bedroom door once since moving in, and most days when she gets home from work, a roommate has taken her dog into the shared living room. She said she hardly thought about the dorm-style bathroom setup, that there had never been a line for a shower, and that the building was like a family.
The only thing people really need to do alone is sleep, [said another resident]. “What are the things you can do with other people? Eat food, drink wine, watch TV... You don’t need to do that in your own unit alone, so why pay for it?"It does seem a little sad to say, "The only thing people really need to do alone is sleep," but I know what he means: The only place you need to be set aside as only to be used by you is your bed. You might not always use it alone. Do you really need your own bed in a system where you don't get your own toilet? I think the bedroom — 130 to 220 square feet — is specifically your own because you need a place to keep your stuff. Otherwise you'd need a locker. And, psychologically, you probably need to feel you have a personal retreat, a place to set some personal items about and make homey. That's what college students do with dorm rooms, often with roommates, which undercuts the idea that "The only thing people really need to do alone is sleep."
If you keep paring back on necessities, you might find it hard to come up with of anything we really need to do alone. Think your own thoughts maybe, in that own-room you've got in your cranium.
Lots of stories in the NYT about women who leave their husband and relocate geographically, often with a pet as their sidekick. You're not really sleeping alone when you've got your Yorkie Pomeranian, Stanford. Stanford! When I get my Yorkie, I'm naming it NYU — Professor Nyu.
