** Starships still only have limited space; even without money, they need to get enough resources to build them etc. Many people (Taurik, for example) don't mind sharing quarters with someone else, or at least consider that a reasonable trade-off for getting to ''explore space'', even if they could also live in a comfortable apartment on their home planet.

** It does make you wonder what size quarters regular enlisted crewmembers get on a Galaxy Class Starship! It's seen that a married Chief Petty Officer (O'Brien) gets pretty decently sized quarters. It was also seen that ensigns on a California Class starship have their crew quarters as a long hallway of assigned bunk beds and shared restroom/sonic shower facilities (also in the Voyager episode ''Flashback'' where they show the old USS Excelsior, the ensigns also have bunkbeds, though theirs are freestanding instead of built into the walls). I wonder if USS Enterprise-D crewmen get the same hotbunking treatment as on current submarines, while possibly being bitter that random guests (sometimes, unexpected guests) to a Galaxy Class starship get assigned a guest quarters that is the same size as senior officers' quarters?

* This episode establishes that ensigns have to have roommates, while senior officers get quarters all to themselves. Lavelle is eager to get promoted so he'll have his own quarters. In the moneyless utopia of Starfleet, where people are said to work simply to "better themselves," it seems that increased creature comforts are still an incentive to advance your career.
