Couple living in Google's parking lot

Ғылым және технология

When Pete D'Andrea landed a job at Google, he and his wife Kara wanted to avoid paying the sky high rent in Silicon Valley. So, Pete and Kara decided to move into Google's parking lot. After befriending the security officers on campus, the young couple lived in the parking lot for two years and saved around 80% of their income. Pete and Kara tell us how and why they did it.

    My brother worked in Texas, it's a lousy state to work in -- so lousy it convinced him to go back to college for an advanced degree. Pay was pretty poor for a person with a degree, and he was expected to be on call 24/7, even when he was on vacation.

    Well what did he do and where did he live? Austin, Dallas, and the Houston metro areas have a lot of high paying tech jobs. I started out of college as a information systems analyst with a 50k starting salary and just became a IT manager now making 95k. Engineering is a very good field out here too. My wife is a engineer and her starting salary was almost as much as my current salary and she received the job offer before she even graduated.

    I considered a job in the Bay area a long time ago. I'd just bought a townhouse in suburban D.C., which isn't a cheap place to live, either. The recruiter said I'd probably be able to afford a condo, but nothing too close to the shore or too far up in the mountains. Maybe a 2 hour commute. I chose not to pursue the matter any farther. And that's how bad it was 30 years ago.

    A 2-hour commute means a total of 4 hours a day. A standard job used to be 8 hours a day (but not in STEM in the bay area; a STEM job is min. 60 hours a week) so that commute is the equivalent of working a part-time job in addition to your main job, at negative pay.

    This is a very interesting story. I lived in my office for several years. I am now living in a small cottage in Southern California and still basically live out of one room,( eat, sleep, has my desk and see client) Even though there are four or five rooms here. After nearly a year, I'm gradually trying to furnace the other living spaces, at least make them look lived in. The funniest thing is I was living here several weeks before I was able to use a private bathroom. Every time I would go out was the only time I could go. (if you get what I'm saying) some of my friends said I should do a video KZread log. I only shared some of these funny stories with a few people.

    Many live in a community with a homeowner's association, which can be absolutely brutal and bullying to the homeowners about leaving a garden hose lying out or taking trash cans in. But when the power company or cable company wants to hang something the size and appearance of a trash can on a pole, or festoon the community with big black cables, well then the homeowner's association puts it's tail between it's legs and doesn't even whimper. Tiny houses are the same, those are individual homeowners and so they get bullied, even if the tiny house is prettier than many homes already in the community. What looks "trashy" has a lot to do with who owns it.

    Are you kidding? That's still a "mobile home"! An RV would have more space and amenities that a Tiny House. It's just the "house look" that is the only appeal of the Tiny House, so you care more about what others think of you.

    ...How do you work for GOOGLE, 90hrs week, and have to save for 2yrs to buy a house? Google pays well (at least compared to everything near me) and has tons, TONS of free services for employees, which would save even more money. Granted, that house was pretty huge.. so I can imagine it wasn't cheap.. but.. 2yrs? At Google? Having to live in an RV? Bullshit.

    Yep. And google isn't exactly paying employees minimum wage. They also offer many free services and money-saving opportunities for their employees. It seems they chose to live in a parking lot while saving up for a premium house in a premium location, they could have left sooner if they'd wanted. They're happy, so it's all good.. but don't make it out to be that google pays shit.

I don't think the guy is trailer trash, but I do think he could have perhaps bought a more humble home in a less picturesque for a little less money and lived in the parking lot for a shorter amount of time.

    A nice house in a good neighborhood doesn't have to be big or in a secluded wooded area. My point was that google doesn't pay chicken feed. I don't give a fuck where these people live - but they could haveleft the parking lot sooner if they had gone for a smaller house in a less secluded area. But as I said, they're happy so I really don't care :)

    Back in 1985, I knew a guy who worked 16-hour days in two full-time jobs within blocks of each other in San Jose, CA (Silicon Valley) and he decided that renting was a waste of money since his expensive apartment was just a place to sleep between shifts, so he moved in a customized van that had a minimal bedroom instead of seats in the back. He bought a membership at a gym where he also showered, washed his clothes and cooked some of his meals (dunno if he had his mail sent there). This worked out for him, but living with a family in such a situation seems much worse.

If they can save money now it will be be of more use when they relocate to a low-cost-of-living area.

Now there's two major sections that make a good Rv. 1, is the platform it's built on. 2, is the house unit built on the platform. Chevrolet and Ford have been the most reliable as far as Gas platforms. But better than that would be diesel. The house unit is best from a good long lasting company that has been around for many years, Winnebago, fleetwood, etc.
