Priya Rose, co-founder of Fractal, discusses the origins and growth of the co-living community in Brooklyn. Fractal started as a casual co-living arrangement among friends and has now expanded to 36 people living across multiple apartments and neighborhoods, with a broader community of 400 others floating around the ecosystem. Priya shares how weekly dinner parties and subleasing helped foster a sense of community and attract new members. She also discusses the challenges and strategies of finding and matching roommates. Priya envisions future iterations of Fractal, including expanding to other cities and creating a village with its own system of governance. She and Jackson also both emphasize the importance of incremental progress towards building a utopian community.

Campfire is produced by Cabin, which is a group of internet friends building a network of modern villages. Learn more at cabin.city
