Personal experience: Most considerate housemates ever, and not at all cultish … though it depends a lot on the people :)
I personally think it’s not that helpful to have an additional system for EA housing since it’s not so hard to just get in touch via a local group / chapter and look for other interested people there.
My experience over the last few days has been that finding potential roommates in the bay area is much harder than it needs to be. There is a lesswrong housing spreadsheet but many EAs are not aware of it. There are many different EA groups and websites where bay area EAs hang out (I have a list of 11). I’ve reached out to dozens of people directly and been introduced to dozens more, which is super awesome, but it’s by no means efficient.

Is that list published anywhere?
Form and list.
I’ve just posted those to SkillShare.
Yes, you could also see if there’s a local group in your city here.
