Zhdez housing

Single-family detached housing is the least-efficient way to build, so Zhdez aren't going to do it often. In keeping with their communal tendencies, they're going to be more likely to live in apartment type buildings, rowhomes, or the like, and it's most likely a cohousing sort of setup. A group of households will have individual housing that has shared facilities, something like an apartment complex with a clubhouse and pool, but more so.

There is usually a shared cooking area, often in addition to smaller ones in the private household area, where larger groups can be served or bulk food prep can happen or multiple households can eat together and trade off cooking duties. These shared areas are sometimes indistinguishable from restaurants, with some members of the housing cluster taking on cooking as a full-time job.

Personal transport is often shared by the household group, with everyone having their own bicycle but using a shared neighborhood vehicle, cargo bikes, and so forth - along with a pool of communal bicycles for guest or backup use.

Housing is also generally not personally owned. Instead, Zhdez are members of housing cooperatives, building societies, or other types of mutual organizations. Housing is a right, in Zhdez society, so even if one doesn't have enough of an ownership in anything to account for an entire unit of housing, something will still be found. The reduced personal belongings of a typical Zhdez as compared to their Inukari or Terran counterpart helps with this: most are happy with the equivalent of a small studio apartment of their own, with only the size and stability of the overall household changing with their status. A young Zhdez just starting out on their own will live in a dorm-like building where residents are always coming and going, whereas an older, prosperous one will live in a large estate consisting of extended family and friends and perhaps business partners or employees, without much turnover.
