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.

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.

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

Roommates to the left of me, roommates to the right. Will there be any non-roommate people left if liberals are allowed to put pro-roommate books in our school's libraries?

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.

I think it's a bit entitled to expect to live in a studio apartment for free.

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

I hate articles that don't include publish dates almost as much as I hate local news sources that don't list the city and state they are in.
