Vancouver Sees Rise In Shared Housing For Cheaper Accommodations
With vacancy rates near zero in Vancouver, residents turn to shared housing as a cheaper option. The trend differs from 1970s communes, now run as mixed or shared accommodations, often on a business basis to keep costs down and ensure timely rent. Housing expert Stanley Hamilton notes a shift from doubling up to living alone. single-person households rose from 55,000 in 1971 to about 85,000 by 1976. Colleen Martin of the YWCA cites many who cannot afford more than $200 per month reverting to shared living. Shared homes offer companionship, though some prefer to live with friends or keep life separate, and efforts aim to balance genders in shared arrangements.
