Mr. Santos, thanks for your thoughtful reply to my post, but I feel like you dodged a significant part of my comment. I lived in the Washington DC area for a long time, and group homes with up to 6 young professionals right out of college living in a large detached single family dwelling are exceedingly common due to high cost of living in the area. From my experience, these arrangements are universally disliked by the people in them for the reasons I stated. One person in the mix who is consistently short on money, or leaves a mess, or has frequent sleepover friends, or uses the home as a clubhouse for their other pals, or has mental health issues, or brings over sketchy friends, or has hygiene issues, or eats others’ food and drinks their beer, or smokes, or has sticky fingers, or leaves porn or drug paraphernalia lying around, or blasts music, or doesn’t do chores, or is a hoarder, or is creepy, or is a bully, or is just an asshole, can make living in the group home an absolute nightmare. The chance that one out of any six random people exhibits one or more of these characteristics is pretty high I’d say. There will also always be one or more people in the home that will be a ghost as well, who heads to their room and stays there and doesn’t interact with anyone else. The people in the house can have all of the meetings they want to discuss these issues, which the problem people will ignore because they can. It is exceedingly hard to make a unpleasant housemate go away, since the landlord won’t care if the checks are clearing the bank. This type of life is enough to drive young professionals to make more money so they can get out of it, and it sounds similar to what you are proposing.

If people living in the housing units were carefully screened beforehand to determine their suitability for living in this group setting, you would ultimately have to tell some people that they are too big of a loser to live in your building.
