But if being without a room is a form of suffering, then wouldbt it make more sense to distribute that suffering equally, so that no one person has to bear an unendurable length of time without a room, instead each person is just momentarily inconvenienced as they shift.
That’s without considering the time to pack up your bags etc - ie there’s a fixed cost as well as the cost per room moved
To minimise the total societal cost, only one person has to leave their room, and by that (or any) one person not making the sacrifice, the average suffering increases across all of median, mean and mode…
It’s the opposite situation from where one person can get huge gains to the detriment of many others - eusocially it makes sense to do what’s best for the average person
