Having a full time job and not being able to afford to have your own place is simply miserable.

  I've definitely been there and I think it only would have sucked had I believed my income would never rise. Which to the greater point - what should the lifestyle expectation be on entry level jobs?

  That’s an absurd level of luxury that people have become accommodated to. To the nearest percentage point, 0% of people in human history have grown up with the expectation of an entire dwelling as their personal domain. It’s wasteful and absurd. Resources like showers which are used 15 minutes a day should not sit idly all day waiting for a single person.

    While certain facilities may have been shared, my understanding is that generally speaking people have been able to have a space that they or at least their family owned. Personally, I would be thrilled to own the place I live even if things like bathrooms were shared.

    That's honestly a horrible way of looking at things. Having privacy in your own home should not be seen as luxury. Until now, at least in my country, having your own place was seen as normal and healthy. We should not go back and think "that was just a luxury". That could be done by 1) building more housing or 2) getting serious about remote working.

  And why is that, that you think so? Why should anyone have the right to their own place? Asking from a point of genuine curiosity. Had not thought about that much until now.
