- axitanull 11y ago- Single-parent families, with a parent living on minimum wage. - Students. - People are expected to leave their parents house at age 18. But without a proper trade skills, they can only earn minimum wage. - etc. But we may be missing the point here. Since this article doesn't seem to take into the consideration of other living expenses, even if we're talking about a family with two parents and kid instead of a single person: the family may still struggle to pay the rent plus bills.
- vlasev 11y agoWhile I agree about the single-parent families, I disagree about students. No way a student needs a two bedroom accommodation.
- ghshephard 11y agoI'd go one further and say that in some regions, a single-bedroom unit is for someone making pretty good wages. I've never known anybody on minimum wage in California not to live in shared accommodation (mostly because it's impossible).
