Employee dorms are a real thing here in North America.
After college I had a friend working at in the town of Lake Louise Alberta. This is located in a national park and the number of homes are extremely limited and very expensive.
Visiting my friend they game me the tour of the house. It was a three bedroom 2 bath townhouse with 15 people living in it. 4 beds per room upstairs, and 3 people in the basement.
All the people worked at various retail shops in the village. (Not at the chateau) Making minimum wage.

- jnwatson 4y agoYou can't purchase a home in Banff National Park (which includes the towns of Banff and Lake Louise) without having an active or planned business set to open in the town, having some other blood relation to someone living in the town, or having lived in the park since 1981. This is a special situation. They are specifically trying to limit the supply of housing in Banff to limit the environmental impact.
