For the New Yorkers on the fence about whether to move in with a significant other this Valentine’s Day, here’s some financial reality to consider.
Couples who dwell together in New York City also save together — $15,000 per year per person for the median-priced 1-bedroom apartment citywide, according to new research from StreetEasy. In Manhattan, cohabitation savings rise to $19,200; in Brooklyn, the figure is $13,500 per year, per person.
So the typical couple citywide would save $30,000 every year by sharing an apartment. That’s a hefty chunk of change for paying back student loans, saving for a future down payment, or funding that trip around the world.

Opinion: In theory it works.
Once the dynamics get involved ( personalities ) issues may arise.
A select few people or the truly desperate are emboldened to take such a journey.
Save your money and get out of Dodge..................Best wishes.
Even better if you co-habitat with someone of the same sex, you double your wardrobe.
(unless it's a person you're intimate with...i can see maybe wearing a t-shirt of theirs now~n~ then) --
but, if it's not 'intimate' co-habitation...to wear their pants, shirts, blouses, pajamas, tank tops, etc.....

Not if the two of you aren't the same size. Believe me, I know. The only things we could share were scarves...not even socks.
When he died, his entire wardrobe went to Housing Works.
