> holding lots of loosely moderated events, having parties, having group houses, and so on.

Ah. I wonder if the nub of this is group houses?

I can't tell whether the abuse phenomenon is characteristic of EA, or of San Francisco. I understand housing in SF is absurdly expensive, even for well-paid people, so perhaps group houses are more prevalent in SF. Is abuse more common in EA-affiliated group houses in other parts of the country?

My supposition is that abuse is more likely in a group house, whether it's connected with EA or not; but I have no facts to back that up.
