Getting groups in vision alignment can be quite tricky. I have a lot of personal experience and training working with this and can generally get groups there in situations where I think its important where I am trying to do this, but it is by no means an easy thing to do, especially without training, if you’re dealing with a group that also is not experienced with how to sort out interpersonal disagreement.
In general, while not always elegant, you usually can get agreement with adults who feel that they have freedom of choice and ability to express their preferences. Someone will make a compromise, which isn’t necessarily their preference, but which feels good enough that they’re willing to commit in service of being able to function as a group. If you absolutely can’t get agreement, then I don’t recommend sharing living space.
I think the “just make sure everyone agrees on everything” idea is a good one, but quite difficult in practice.
