When the choice is between $3000/mo for a proper apartment and $2000 for a flophouse room some people will take the flophouse. Right now the only choice we offer those priced out is a painfully long commute (with has its own time and car expenses that reduce the savings).
People rent bedrooms in single-family homes all the time. The only difference between that and dorm-style housing is the size of the building.
