[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because that doesn’t fix the underlying issue that housing costs are out of control. It’s just kicking the can further down the road - next its “just get 2 jobs” or “start a side hustle” when reality is that people should be able to afford housing and expenses on $65k. We shouldn’t need to be millionaires just to have a house and a car.

To put it in perspective -[b] 5 years ago, I rented a 1 bedroom apartment for $700.[/b] That same apartment now goes for nearly $1400. Housing prices should NOT be doubling every 5 years, that’s insane.

Salaries are not rising in step with basic living costs, and getting a roommate won’t fix that problem. [/quote]

That was insanely cheap. I paid $650 for a one bedroom 25 years ago. I did so alone, but that was after having roommates for many years. I was tired of walking in on people getting it on, or passed out naked on my couch. Zero respect for any boundaries.

Still I don't think a person needs a 4-5 bedroom home, for themself. [/quote]
