Kicking the can down the roadLooking at Zillow for my zip code there are 2 bedroom apartments starting at $650 a month.
the original post cited a left-wing working class type person. The group that conducted the study looks at the issues facing low income workers and low income housing. You don’t care about that or your simply ignoring in pursuit of politics.It is a discussion that is needed, but coming up with some meaningless figure that people must have to afford an apartment does not help the discussion
A lot of people can’t afford to move. You’re kicking the can down the road.Then they have to move out of San Diego. It’s no place for a minimum wage worker. I’m sure they can move an hour out and take the bus.
There’s a misunderstanding here. The person sided in the original post is not for raising the minimum wage. Simply citing the facts of what is the high cost of living and Biden’s 2024 America.If that becomes the minimum wage inflation will increase the price of rental higher. It's a vicious cycle.
This is the end result of massive debt and injection of cash into the domestic market while corporations move jobs overseas. It's a lose/lose situation, It's crony capitalism and has been far worse since China seduced short term thinking, principle challenged leaders to change course in the fight against communism.
"Money, get away. Get a good job with more pay and you're ok"
Why not? My dad and uncle both did, with $50 in their pocket.A lot of people can’t afford to move. You’re kicking the can down the road.
There is no average wage needed for a one bedroom apartment in America.
There cannot be as prices vary too much from place to place.
How can this be confusing for you?
It’s a lie throwing out $4,500 for a one bedroom in a below average areaLooking at Zillow for my zip code there are 2 bedroom apartments starting at $650 a month.
And the lib loons come up with another cartoonish responseExactly, be resonsible, I am looking at a two bedroom tent for my family

Sorry, but the average 25-year-old was NOT making $75k, adjusted for inflation. I just did a calculation, and at 25 I was earning $55k, adjusted, and I was well above average (Phi Beta Kappa, top of class).Sure, other generations had to face economic ordeals. They had a better leadership structure in those days though. We have left radicalism today which is infecting our economy.
The average 25-year-old today is making about $40,000 a year compared to 40 years ago adjusted for inflation $75,000 a year. There’s your problem right there.
That aint nothing to brag about, being the smartest on the short busSorry, but the average 25-year-old was NOT making $75k, adjusted for inflation. I just did a calculation, and at 25 I was earning $55k, adjusted, and I was well above average (Phi Beta Kappa, top of class).
Who says I was on the short bus? The very fact that my university even HAD a Phi Beta Kappa chapter (most do not) tells you I wasn’t on the short bus.That aint nothing to brag about, being the smartest on the short bus

How about we have better politicians. No more politicians to keep printing trillions of dollars jacking up inflation. Bringing in millions of illegals to lower the wage of workers in this country.Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, folks, like I did.
Stop waiting on Trump to solve your problems, he don't care about you, and he never did.
50 bucks back in that day was worth a lot more.Why not? My dad and uncle both did, with $50 in their pocket.
What is your solution? You certainly aren’t implying we need to punish landlords or redistribute more money from those who took the steps to develop marketable skills to those who didn’t bother?
This is an unbelievable response by you. Where is your Jewish values.See? THIS is the problem. Libs think that poorly educated, unskilled people are entitled to rent their own place, and if they can’t afford it, someone else should just give them money, be it via redistribution of wealth or forcing a small business owner to overpay them.
Here are the living arrangements of those in my family, upon graduating from college, AND NOBODY COMPLAINED:
Dad - rented room in basement in someone’s rowhouse
Uncle - rented small, mediocre, two-bedroom tenement style railroad apartment with another new college kid
Mom and Aunt - stayed at home with their parents (it’s what good girls did back then until they married, early 20s)
Brother - shared three-bedroom townhouse with two other guys
Sister - rented a bedroom in a four-bedroom house
me - rented a studio apartment in a neighborhood so bad I couldn’t come home after dark
The point is….these are all educated, skilled people with real market value, and they were all willing to share or rent dumps when they first started out. So in what world is a C-student with a high school diploma entitled to better?
As I’ve said many times this is the greatest issue in this country. The general cost-of-living including food, housing, clothing, automobiles, etc. Especially for the America first people they know this I think they accept it, but the Democrats seem to be either unaware of it or they don’t care about it.
Sounds like communism are my friend. Sharing?What’s wrong with two minimum wage workers sharing a 2-bedroom? That’s what plenty of COLLEGE GRADS do when they start out. Why do libs think an uneducated worker with no valuable market skills is entitled to rent their own apartment?
Here’s one for $1200 - 2 bedrooms, perfect for sharing.
