California has some of the steepest housing prices in the country. From cities like San Francisco, where the average one-bedroom costs $3,600 — the highest of any city in the U.S. — to rural towns that are plagued by housing shortages, many people can no longer afford to live on their own. We talked to a few who have made the leap to co-living, including a pair of single moms who signed a lease on a house, a family with two kids who moved into a backyard unit, and an Uber driver who crashes in a bunk. They discuss how they learned to share their bathrooms, chores, child care, and lives. Full story here.
