I used to live with roommates. I still do, but I used to as well.
Don’t worry many towns have laws against roommates I am sure with conservation fascism taking a hold in the world that this will soon be against the law period.
What towns have laws against roommates?
They used to be called brothel laws. They’re usually written as a limit to how many adults who aren’t related can share an address.
That’s interesting. Do you have a source?

I found these on “google” if you’ve ever checked that site out.
Ha. Thanks for doing my homework for me. I honestly don’t know what my original sources were… I’ve been aware of the existence of “brothel laws” for ages. I lived in a large intentional community (read: commune, but avoiding sexual connotations at least in a US context) for a long time and running afoul of brothel laws in the past was something I learned about there.
Ah I see where the confusion is. The original article referenced Canada. The brothel laws you sourced look like they’re from the US

Oh my God they were roommates
I’m 37. I’m on disability in BC for my mental health. I have 5 random craigslist roommates in a dilapidated old house. There are no other options. I hate having roommates, I prefer to live alone with some dignity. There is ALWAYS some shitty, childish drama going on, it’s exhausting being the oldest.
you should consider yourself blessed that you get free housing despite not having to lift a finger.
You should be ashamed of your callous response
I think it’s a bit entitled to expect to live in a studio apartment for free.
How does “dilapidated old house” equal “studio apartment”?
I prefer to live alone with some dignity
Now I know the driving force behind maid in canada.
I usually try to make well developed arguments but…
You should consider yourself blessed to be able bodied enough to have developed such an entitled and cunty attitude about other’s living situations
It’d be wild if this was posted 10 years ago but we’ll never know
Its not perfect but you can check archive websites for the dates that stories were archived: https://archive.is/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/personal-finance/household-finances/article-in-10-years-will-canada-be-a-country-of-roommates/ in this case, October 26th.
