When housemates disagree about property rights and shared expenses

My housemates and I are trying to figure out how to handle shared expenses and property decisions, and I believe strongly that each person should only pay for what they individually use or choose, but others want to split everything equally even when some people benefit more. We keep having the same arguments about fairness and it's creating real tension.
