No. We don't live in Singapore or other places "housing advocates" like to point to, like Vienna, where a country's citizens don't have many options other than a single city. We live in the gigantic United States of America, where one can live in 5,000 places other than New York, San Francisco, or the 15 other expensive places.
It's like saying it's a problem that some new cars cost $100,000 when you can buy a good used car for $10,000.

"Co-living" is an elitist term. It's a term invented by and for the upper class who dabble in the travels and trevails of the working class, not unlike the situation outlined in Pulp's
Common People from 1995. No working class person who lives in a multi-generational household has ever heard the term or thought that their improvised living situation is in need of a new piece of terminology to impress people who read
The Atlantic.
