In fact this drives most of the shortage in the developed world, especially in big cities. In many apartments there are 1 or 2 people (plus maybe a dog) living where there used to live 10 (ok, 5) half a century ago.

My parents used to sub-let back decades ago... So even that increased the number of people per unit. I don't think outside room mates that is popular anymore either. Which means more units are needed.
