I wanted to live in a dorm after college mainly for the social aspects, but now that I am in my thirties it would be miserable. I care more about peace and quiet, being settled, and privacy than about mobility or socializing. That said I think there's definitely a market for this, although there are apartment buildings in certain cities that are mostly filled with young college grads and I don't see how that's different. If competing on cost, then there's definitely a market for this. I would worry about the safety and quality of such living arrangements, though. Buildings like this were built many years ago called single-room occupancy (SRO) residences. They eventually became havens for vagrants and other hard-luck elements. As a result, SRO residences were outlawed in many cities.
