[quote=Anonymous]My first job at the age of 22 (after college) in D.C. came with a salary of $27,000. I lived in a group house in Falls Church and was basically food insecure. I doubt anyone could make a go of it at that salary at the moment. It’s just a much more difficult landscape now. Plus, let’s consider: A) There’s no one way to Adult. In many cultures, multigenerational living is the norm. B) There are advantages to multigenerational living—more helping hands. More family ties. No one falls in the shower and breaks a hip with no one knowing, no one facing PPD without support. Etc. C) It’s better for the environment for more people to live in a shared house than for people to live in individual houses/apartments/condos. We’re going to have to start rethinking what Good Living means from an environmental standpoint.[/quote]
