I am extremely confused. You mention that the situation preceded your arrival, however, I recall you arrived while I was living in DT and I can’t figure out what you’re talking about. I’m not extremely good about reading the room, so this is not surprising by itself, but I would have expected to notice if there were huge regular problem. The worst discussion I recalled was about finding out who was the owner of something in the fridge. As far as I know, we never figured it out and assumed it was left by someone who didn’t live it anymore. Kind of gross, but clearly not the level of conflict you are mentioning here.
The only thing I can really think which explain that I didn’t notice conflict is that I only stayed a month, so probably didn’t have time to build real one nor to be taught big pictures of current problems. However, I must state that I really enjoyed this month, and I would have happily stayed longer if the room was not rented to somebody else.
I probably conflate DT and the Bay Area, after all I discovered both at the same time. I really enjoyed the bay area, and this probably reflected positively to my thoughts about DT.
I’d note that I was already confused before. I’ve discovered after moving in that DT was not just a shared house but was created with a purpose, and I never really understood why I was offered a room. Just “having someone paying one month of rent instead of leaving a free room” do not seems a good explanation, as there are probably other people that would have been helped far more with a cheap room than myself.
