Also living in a dorm is not the hardship you seem to think it is. It’s better accommodations than 90% of people in history have ever lived. Watch Les Miserables for a reality check.
Better to direct anger at the landed gentry who made this possible.
Make no mistake, I see this as a terrible living situation. Just because some war time refugees 100 years ago lived worse doesn't mean one of the richest cities in the world should have the same. It is a terrible and dishonest comparison.
I've done a fair bit of backpacking with maybe even more annoying sleeping arrangements and it's great fun at times.
And we don’t have to go 100 years, still probably better than 50% of people living in the world today.
