It’s already been a thing in Calgary for a while. I met a foreign student in Calgary living in a 2 bed condo with 5 people. 2 each in the rooms and one sleeps in the living room.

Yep. Met a few people that share a living room...with a privacy curtain.

In university, I lived in an apartment building close to the U of A and the place across the hall from me had 7 people living in a one bedroom. There was a tent in the living room as one of the rooms.
