I might be very confused, but if a two-bedroom household requires ~$30/h, wouldn't that be ~$15/h each?
You shouldn't need a housemate to be able to afford to live somewhere
With two bedrooms? It would be nice if the average person could support a dependant, but I feel like the point would be made more strongly by showing that the average person can't even afford their own rent (which I assume is the case in many of these areas).
I don't mean the average person. If a person working full time has a dependent, and can't support them with reasonable accommodations, our society has failed them. For a single parent with a child this would mean two bedrooms
