By NITA LELYVELDCITY BEAT COLUMNIST OCT. 12, 2019 5 AM The other evening, I visited Eddy, a new co-living complex in Hollywood. Tucked away on a residential block that used to be all bungalows, it has the styling of a hip boutique hotel. People carry branded metal water bottles that say “Live. Dream.
