An air of tension clearly filled the air when it came time to discuss housing.
After over an hour of arguing we finally decided to use a lottery. First we drew numbers by groups to decide what order we would draw apartments in, which we naturally did next.
While I didn’t get my first choice, my group had the good fortune of getting our second! I’m quite thrilled. It’s a wonderful apartment.
Had I been in charge of the process, I suppose I would have had groupd or individuals meet with me one on one and list their preferences. From there I would ask for any other concerns (i.e. why you can’t live somewhere and also if there is anyone you can’t live with.)
Then I’d list all the apartments and who ranked them highest. If those groups could not make an agreement, then I’d do a lottery.
Perhaps this is just as complicated and inefficient as what actually happened but it still seems that it could protect people’s feelings.
