    I used to live in a house with quite a few other people, we had a porn-addled friend back in the days of print magazines, he worked at a sex shop and would bring us boxes of porn, he always would pull out the one with stories and say “and forums, for the LADIES!”. It cracked me up but he wasn’t wrong.

        Yeah well back then we were struggling to make rent but 5 adults paying each $100 for a $500 house rent made it possible. There were a couple of babies too, we were just so poor back then. Nowadays I imagine you’d have to multiply that cost by 5 or 10, depending on the house but a 3 bedroom can hold 3 couples no problem.

        I’ve never lived alone - these were people I’d lived with or near before, just friends. You need a tolerant private landlord, ours lived next door. I still see houses full of working people here in my neighborhood, sure it’s still possible.
