[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 - 5 years ago, I rented a 1 bedroom apartment for $700. 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]

You're missing the point(s).  First, it was the norm for young adults to have roommates because we couldn't have afforded to live alone. This is not a new phenomenon.  Second, we didn't complaint about it all the freakin' time.  It was a fact of life, and you dealt with it.  If you didn't like it, you worked to change it.  [/quote]
