Does anyone know...
According to Somerville zoning laws, how many people can reside in a one-bedroom? I had assumed it was only two people, but I can't find anything on the city's website about it.

not the right way to address overcrowding issues

I don't know the history of this ordnance in particular, but adding such rules was really popular in the 1960s to prevent the formation of "communes".

I've also heard about it in several towns as a way to prevent frat houses.

San Francisco invented the related "minimum room size per person" as an anti-Chinese measure.
