[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with OP that historically it is very unusual for people to live by themselves.  In the old days there were many boarding houses, usually run by widows (who had inherited a house but no money) who needed to earn a living. They would cook three meals a day and all the residents would eat together and chat, like a family except unrelated people of different sexes, ages and professions. It would be nice if this model of living still existed, so you could be single but have other people around you, and socialize in a low-pressure way. Although many posters here have said they are happy to be living alone, I think if the boarding house concept were still here a lot of people would enjoy that kind of living situation.

Zoning laws have eradicated it.[/quote]

Is that what happened?? That sucks! I agree with PP that I wish we still had boarding houses. Provided I could get my own room and bathroom.’mostly I think you had to share baths. [/quote]
