IOW, if they ran the house at 50% capacity (30 guys), for 9 months per year for 30 years, the portion of each members housing bill used to pay the mortgage would only be $70/month. Even adding on sky-high insurance, utilities, maintenance, food, etc., the total seems very cheap. Am I missing something?
