I think there’s a decent number of remote-working, highly social people with substantial disposable income, who have friends living elsewhere that they’d like to spend quality time with. Especially in the tech crowd. This would appeal to a lot of people I know.

I think as people start to have kids it would be less appealing, but people seem to be doing that later these days (or not at all).

No doubt 25-35 y.o. or so could pull it off. Probably don't even have to be fully remote, just tell your laid back boss you want to work remotely for a couple weeks.

According to the article the quality of the pool matters. If you want a neighborhood feel, the challenge is to come up with 8-40 people who are going to jive. Devon noted that (at least one) FoaF experience didn't work out. I think it is great if you have the social sense to select such a chill group but I'd be surprised if many people could accomplish organizing a successful large group.
