Before the pandemic, I remember a few were built almost like a hotel. Basically, it's a studio with a microwave + W/D

Restaurants, lounge , game room, movie room . Maybe lounges each floor .

Kinda like a club. They thought this was a good model for people living alone.

My son lives in a coop in Boston with 9-10 bedrooms and just 2 bathrooms! Everything is shared .

Not for everybody, but a certain percentage of the population would love the opportunity to live in a building like this and save a bunch on rent.

Keep in mind those are in luxury buildings in prime locations, so I wouldn't say "save", but agree that the building/rooms appeal to some. And there's nothing wrong with that per se.
