My friend, Paul Livingstone, and I are looking for one or two housemates to share a large house in Pasadena.  The place we are considering at the moment is a <a href="http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/apa/1758872062.html">5 bedroom house on Garfield Ave in Pasadena</a>, just south of Mountain.  We negotiated the rent for all five bedrooms down to $2250, or $400-$500 per room..<br>
<br>We are hoping to find someone that is responsible, cleans up after themselves, and is OK with young/teenage kids in the house.  Only one teenager would be living their full-time, but we have 3 other kids that would sometimes visit.  <br>
<br>If our housemate has some common values with Paul and myself that would also be a big plus.<br><br>I am very interested in permaculture, environmental issues, social issues and simple living.  I&#39;ve been getting all of my food by dumpster diving, as so much good food is thrown out by local supermarkets and I hate to see it go to waste (free food for housemates!).  We also like to host occasionally small parties, musical jam sessions, discussions or video potlucks or (perhaps a few times a month).  So our housemates would need to be OK with that.<br>
<br>There is a yard, and some possibility for a garden and application of permaculture principles.<br><br>From an email from Paul (who is an amazing musician and a great friend):<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">&quot;If you know good reliable folks who may be inclined to live in a collective situation with freegans, around creative artists in a co-operative, spiritually inclined &amp; musical home please let us know!  Thank you - paul<br>
