Yea right. If people left tiny apartments, that should balance out in terms of vacancy rates though. Plus I knew of some people that really hated living alone and so presumably sought to live with someone else.

But share houses blowing up makes a lot of sense.

I wonder if there's a demographics to it as well, where millennials are now middle aged, and so either more entitled in their residential "needs" or starting families, with the pandemic suddenly accelerating that trend. But in reality, was it a very foreseeable trend?
