that's just the statistic, but yeah. Can't afford that either. But people will tell you to "just move somewhere affordable" when the point is there isn't a single place in the US where you can afford a two-bed apartment on minimum wage – which should be a wage you can live on
Yes someplace affordable is what was called a Hoover house about a century ago, that is a cardboard house or stacks of used paint cans and dreams of a communist revolution.
Hoover and his industrialist buddies were livid over FDR's New Deal, not realizing it was a stopgap to let capitalism get its shit together.
