I golfed with a White Sox prospect who was rehabbing from surgery down here about 6 years ago and the rental he shared with a couple other guys was awesome. I guess it all depends on what is available around the parks as much as anything.
I get that privacy and all that good stuff is a major concern, but I like shared spaces and the dorm experience for these guys.

Around 2009, a couple of guys I went to college with drafted (by different clubs) ended up coming here for ST and they were both put up in what I can only describe as flop houses.

I just think the idea that we are a comparable abomination among teams is likely a very loosely based version of the truth. I stand behind the idea of shared rooms not being the worst thing for these guys. Rent is pretty out of control, right now, and perhaps the difference is that of safety and quality at the sacrifice of quantity.
The news of crap food being provided makes me much angrier than the living situation. Not hard to put out a healthy spread every day at a nominal cost to the big club. Then again, I just spent $300 on what is 90% the same monthly trip to Costco that was costing me ~$220 the past few years.
