[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If true, we need universal basic income and very robust social services so that people in jobs that do not pay a living wage have access to housing, healthcare, and other basic necessities of life. Otherwise we deal with all the externalities of having a large, desperate underclass -- crime, homelessness, substance abuse, civil unrest, etc.

"Access to housing" does not mean no roommates and a bedroom for every child. [/quote]

Who said it did?  My kids attend a school that is pretty diverse socioeconomically, and plenty of their classmates live in apartments AND share a room with a sibling, and it's still a challenge for the family to afford a non-decrepit apartment.  And there are many neighborhoods in this area where multiple families are sharing a house- my guess is you don't live somewhere like that so maybe you didn't know?[/quote]

I was replying to someone, who was replying to the OP which DID say no roommates. [/quote]
