Are there any listings of rationalist houses and/or Less Wrong users looking for an apartment?
If not, do you guys think it should be a feature that is added to lesswrong.com? IMO, it's something that has the potential to improve a lot of lives, and doesn't take that much effort to implement. So ROI-wise, it seems like something worthy of doing.
There now exists a wiki page for this: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Listing_of_Rationalist_Houses
ROI-wise, the best first move seems to write a comment on Open Thread, asking: "Are there any rationalist houses with free capacity? Alternatively, are there any LessWrong users looking for an appartment (please write the locality)?"
If you get answers, you can put them in wiki afterwards. If you don't get answers... then making the wiki page would probably accomplish nothing.
So you think that the likelihood of people posting in the WIki is low enough that it needs to be tested in Open Thread first?
Even so, what's the downside to making a Wiki? I suspect that people would be more willing to post there than the Open Thread because the Wiki seems more "legit" and posting there is more likely to be useful, whereas posting to the small Open Thread post may be seen as fruitless (for it to be useful, it really needs a critical mass of people, and it's more likely to get that with the WIki).
I don't think it really needs a new feature. We already have a Wiki. The problem is more about organising the information.
Could you link to it? I can't find it.

I don't see any listing of rationality houses or people looking for apartments there.
But there space where you could put that information. There no need to have a new feature. The Wiki feature is perfectly fine to store information about rationality houses.
There no need to ask for permission to create a Wiki page that lists that kind of information.
I'd like to make a Wiki page of people looking for a roommate who is also a Less Wrong user. However I can't create new pages because I'm a new user. Do you know how I could get approval or something to make the page?
Hi Adam, I created the page for you: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Listing_of_Rationalist_Houses
Thanks! I suspect that "rationalist houses" should be more clearly distinguished from "apartments" though.
Oh ok, I understand what you mean now.
