It's not that bad when you get a couple of room / house-mates, which is a pretty typical thing to do here.

First thing I did when I came, was refer a bunch of friends from Van / TO and get them moved over too. Four of us wound up for years living in a detached townhouse together. One of us slept under the stairs with a curtain pulled across his cot. Good times, saved a lot of money .

Some people go even cheaper: plenty live in vans in the parking lot at work. Ranging from beater Ford Econolines to my coworker's sweet Mercedes Sprinter overlanding build. They just use the bathroom / showers at work lol.
