Draft:Tradeoffs of shared living

Living with roommates or communally is potentially better for the environment, using resources more efficiently. But in some ways, it can actually be less efficient.

Efficiencies

TODO

Inefficiencies

• having to ventilate the home whenever something makes a bad smell (cooking, bathroom, smoking, etc). This wastes especially a lot of energy for heating in the winter.

The above inefficiencies are with regards to physical resources. but there are also inefficiencies with regards to time:

• waiting for bathrooms
• can't leave anything in common spaces, even if leaving the home for just half an hour, always gotta put stuff away to avoid tripping hazards or other accidents

TODO: add more examples(...)( i know there are, but i can't remember what they are at the moment ) before publishing this page.
