These are "low income." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago* (1 child) 20 bucks an hour minimum wage isn't low income. most people in low income housing make well above mimimum wage. stop conflating these two things. also, just because you think it's too expensive doesn't mean it isn't. other people have different price thresholds than you. i know people making half what i make paying way more rent than I am, because that's what they've chose to do because they believe they 'need' to live very expensive places. plenty of people are willing to vastly overpay for 'new' housing, as it's an amenity. just like in my city you pay an extra $1000 to live near a subway stop and if you go 1km away, the rent is way cheaper. or that if you want pets the rent goes up $500+ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 point 6 months ago (1 child) I live in a state where people do make minimum wage, or $8 send I told you what the situation is in my state.
