Luxury relative to what, exactly? I think people in America are generally accustomed to one-bedroom-per-child; that's the standard our popular media promotes. I grew up in a family of 5 with a 3 bedroom house; meaning two of us were always sharing a bedroom even as teenagers (we switched up who was sharing every year, meaning none of us had a fixed bedroom.) I think by American standards that was not entirely atypical, but certainly short of luxurious. But you seem to think 3 bedrooms qualifies as luxurious, and don't seem to make any consideration for family size.
In some countries, cultures or communities, a family of ten might be living in a single bedroom. Maybe anything more spacious than that should be your standard for luxury. Or further maybe; any shelter that keeps you dry is the bare minimum. If it keeps you dry and warm, that's luxury. Why not? If you get chilly you can use a blanket; furnaces are luxury. Do you really need anything more than a primitive FEMA tent? Running water plumbed straight into your home is a luxury, you can bring a water bucket to a community spigot every day. If you think that's too much work you're just being entitled.
