Crashpads aren’t necessarily hard to come by. There’s usually plenty of them if you know where to look in the majority of most major city bases. It’s kind of an underground scene because most are wildly in violation of city ordinance and fire codes for capacity.

Just to give you an idea. My crashpad when I was hired based in JFK was a 2300 sq ft house with 3 floors and had 28 beds…yeah. NYC ordinance officers would have had a heart attack if they knew, as a matter of fact, they closed down a similar one across the street when I was there. But some can be a one bedroom apartment with 8 beds. Some offer private rooms, more expensive, but they’re there.

Now, I also know a guy based on FLL who docked his boat at the local marina and that’s his crash pad. Hi sits reserve just offshore within range of his cell phone booster setup he has, fishing pole in hand. So as you can see there’s definitely worse ways to do it but the options are there.
