That sounds like an unrelated problem to your own addictions.

Arguably a dorm is pretty minimal as well, it’s just a climate controlled room with a bed.

If you have to physically remove yourself from housing to stop using technology negatively, that’s an addiction problem, not a problem with housing.

That's definitely true, but you also see how some settings make it easier to be virtuous than others right?

Also, the success apps like tiktok and instagram does suggest addiction is more the norm than the exception.

Perhaps, but it’s not really a reason to eschew conventional shelter. You’d probably try some smaller changes first (e.g., setting up screen time restrictions, deleting apps, switching to a dumb phone).
