OP says Yelp is a billion dollar food delivery firm.
I thought it was a rating site.?

Back in my starving student days...serious lack of money....I lived in shared housing, several times..in Seattle.
That is where you rent a 3 or more bedroom house and find room mates to share the rent and utility bills.
They pay first month in advance.

Don't people do that anymore?
