@GalacticTurtle @EmmyNoether Also, have you considered that people might also just not like communal living, rather than specifically living in women’s houses or not wanting to live with friends?
Of my single friends I don’t know anyone who would like to live with other people communally, if they have the option of living alone.
This may of course be a cultural thing, as I’m mainly talking about Finnish people here, and shared housing has been very much on the decline for several decades now in Finland. People just aren’t interested in it if they can avoid it.
