Not The Onion!

How are you ever supposed to save when you're spending nearly half your take-home on a one-bedroom in a crummy apartment complex in the suburbs of Mountain View?
Robert Allen of Daly City is offering a solution. Through his site Go-Tell.net, the 68-year-old retiree, who likes to keep himself busy with entrepreneurial projects, is renting fully customized vans to anyone who can find a place to park one....
While one van dweller complained of a sore back in a review on Go-Tell.net, Allen said, "The bed is more comfortable than the Mark Hopkins. It's like sleeping on heaven."...
"Google Security came by very early on, but once they determined that the guy in the mysteriously parked white van was just an eccentric Googler and not the Unabomber, they never came by again," Driscoe wrote.
