Co-living 

A movement in shared living where people adapt a more flexible leasing structure and practice increased engagement with the household in order to form more meaningful connections with housemates and the general community—regardless of the duration of stay. Co-living can take many forms from shared apartment buildings to shared houses or individual apartments, and it’s particularly gaining traction in areas with a high cost of living, like SF and NYC. Because the rentals can be short- or long-term, it’s increasingly common among younger demographics seeking more meaningful, interconnected lifestyles or travelers who want to immerse themselves in a new city or culture.

I want to find a roommate who embraces co-living, who likes to cook together and share their experiences, rather than someone who treats our home as just a place to stay.

"Co-living is the new slums, man, I can't front 3 times my rent just to move into some shithole in Brooklyn."
