    I made 10 bucks an hour in 2007 and had a one bedroom one bathroom apartment for $475 in a college city.

    Living on your own was possible 18 years ago.

      These days $475 a person crammed into an apartment with more people than bedrooms is a good deal. It’s shocking to hear about how within just the 21st century it was possible to afford housing

      I pay more than that and live with six other people. We have a house but rent is fucked.

        That same apartment I lived in jumped to something like $750 immediately in response to the crash. It now rents for $1300 last I checked. Same little end unit next to the dumpsters.
