Papayag ka bang magrenta ng kalahati ng kama ka-share ang isang stranger, at ang bayad ay PHP36,600 a month?

Ang magiging set-up ba ay parang napapanood sa pelikula na magkaaway ang dalawang bida at maglalagay ng linya sa gitna ng kama?

Nagiging kontrobersiyal ang Facebook post na ito mula sa Canada, kung saan pinaparentahan ang kalahati ng kama at kuwarto sa halagang 900 Canadian dollars ($655) a month. Katumbas nito ay PHP36,600.

Kalakip ng FB post ay ganitong caption: “Looking for an easy-going female to share the master bedroom and the one Queen-sized bed.

Sabi pa ng uploader, “I have been previously sharing the bedroom which only has one queen size with a roommate I found on Facebook, and it worked out perfectly well!”

Deleted na ang FB post, pero naagaw nito ang atensiyon ng Toronto-based realtor na si Anya Ettinger.

Patunay raw ito ng lumalalang housing crisis sa Toronto, Canada.

Ang nakakalulang halaga ng space rental to the point na ang kasama mo ay isang estranghero.

Nag-viral ang TikTok post ng realtor na in-expose ang lumalalang merkado ng housing sa Toronto.

"Renting out a space in your bed for 900 [Canadian] dollars a month? No wonder so many people hate it here,” sabi ni Anya.

Ang Toronto ay kilala dahil sa sobrang mahal ng property rates, at isa sa mga pinakamahal na housing markets sa Canada.

Halimbawa, ang pagrenta sa one-bedroom property sa Toronto ay $2,614 kada buwan o PHP146,000 monthly.

Dahil dito, maraming tao ang humahanap ng paraan, tulad ng paghahanap ng kasama—to the point na pati pag-share ng kama at kuwarto.

Subalit hindi ito isang isolated case. May mga report na sinasabing ang “hot bedding”—pag-share ng bed kasama ang isang stranger—ay unti-unting nagiging option para makamenos sa bayarin.

Sa isang 2021 survey ng University of Technology Sydney sa Australia, maraming international students sa Sydney at Melbourne ay pumapayag sa hot bedding para makatipid sila, ulat ng Wion.
