Developers should start building communal spaces where you have your own room and bathroom and share everything else.

"Dorms" being the technical term for that arrangement.

I've lived in several dorms, and I never had a bathroom just for myself.

The new senior dorm where I went to school had private bathrooms in the dorm rooms. Of course everyone of them went and got a small fridge.

You don't need your own bathrooms. Technically you don't need your own room either, but I wouldn't pay 2k a month for that.

That would be a barracks. Those are often free housing with the job.
