So many high apartment buildings, yet so little space for each person to live

Today I accompany my bf to hunt for a place to live(I mean month-pay rent). You guess what, several couples share one big apartment. And the apartment has five rooms AND ONLY ONE washroom. Totally there are eight people living there. My god. Imagine that you get up at morning and nature calls that you must go for peeing. Yet you find several others waiting there for their turns. How can you stand that. "You can tolerate that? dear?" I asked my bf. He only smiled. "There is no other way. I can only afford this kind of share rent." Oh, there are so many high apartment buildings standing in this city. And even some families have two or more building vacant, yet we don't have a decent place to live. Damn it!

Hi. colourless. This is messed up! I could not stay in the same apartment and share it with other people. There goes my privacy and quietness for you! I hope that you and your bf will be able to find an apartment that you both can live in together, rather to have to share your space with other, possible strangers at that.

It's all about money. The more you have it is the more you get options to live wherever you want to. In our current situation, this is the way how it works and if you are being picky you might end up on the worst apartment.
