Do I understand correctly that this would be a part-time gig in NYC?

 

I was curious about that as well. Living in NYC doesn't seem necessary to me. I don't see why you'd even have to leave your mom's basement.

 

What about the doghouse in the backyard? Is that acceptable, too?

(I live in Florida. We don't have basements.)
