No, not 2 of everything, just incredible sonics, perhaps great large format monitors or mid fields, a large format console, some with proper video/film playback.....such as Signet (movies), Village (records) and quite a few more.
Most of the the guys I know bring their gear along, just need a great place to work for a week or two (movies, records, etc). [mark needham, alan parsons, george massenburg for music, steve kempster, alan meyerson for movies]. If you look at Village, that's about all they are doing now except the rare client who books out long term (Flyte Tyme).

Most guys that i know who mix have their own spots(i know i do).
Also most of the rock records(and most records in general) are mixed by the same few.
These guys aren't going to switch midstream, especially since every one is talking about not suppporting large format consoles which is the prefered medium of choice. [quote]
Most of the guys I know in LA do not, but I know many do [Eric Valentine for example fits your description, as does Chuck Ainlay in Nashville, the Mc Bride camp too]. And yes, the records are mixed by a few....
