Why do you always try and change what I say into your own narrative? I said more and more people are doing that, I didn't say it was acceptable or that a living wage should be based on that, in fact, I said the opposite. Stop trying to make everything negative.

But that's not actually the cost of living in an area. You don't need a single-occupancy apartment, that's a luxury. And housing is generally the largest single expense. If you control your housing expenses, you can live in most places.

Oh, I know, since I sold my house I have been living on less than $1000 a month (about 4 years now). I rented rooms and for the last 2 1/2 years basements (kinda like my own apartment). You can live on less, but that should not be considered a livable wage. You should not be forced to live with others, or consider it a luxury. There is no reason someone working 30 hours a week shouldn't be able to rent their own place, eat fairly well and be entertained.
