Alec is the proprietor of "Porc Central", located at 412 Central Street in Manchester, New Hampshire. Between 5 and 8 porcupines live there at any given time, usually closer to 8. Rooms let for $350 to $475 per month (payment in hard currency is also welcome) and heat, electricity, air conditioning, cable television, and DSL are all included.

Off-street parking for 4 vehicles goes by seniority; additional vehicles park on the street, which is an annoyance during the six months of the year when Manchester bans parking on alternate sides of the street each day. House mates stay for an average of 8 months with a standard deviation of 8 months.

Alec is trying to fill his house with people who are interested in working with him on an educational website project, and will give rental credit in exchange for work done on the site. He also has leads on 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments in the 412 Central Street neighborhood.
