If it was done as a worker's co-op it should be possible to use the idea to avoid the worst apsects of capitalist immmiseration through group cost savings. Living with a group of politically like minded people seems attractive. Allowing comrades you live with to hold you accountable for your organizing, lifestyle and productivity would probably be a positive thing for everyone here tbh. Am guilty. A lot more theory would be read in general lol.
I mean, it's probably better suited to single people that would be willing to relocate, but it seems surprising that it's not a bigger thing, especially with the cost of accomodation.
Got this fantasy of a derelict office block at the end of a cycle path, say 40mins cycle from a city to get the cheaper real estate, converted for communal living.
Yeah this is like basically living in a "wohngemeinschaft" which is just having flatmates.
"Living in a WG allows you to save money. This is the main reason people across the world live in communal settings, and the savings can often be dramatic. One of my friends who studies in Siegen pays less than 200 euros for his room, and I knew people in Berlin who paid around 100 euros per month."
