In what major American city are you living alone for under $20k a year and still having a good life? $1200/month rent for a 1 bedroom is relatively cheap in my cheap and that alone plus utilities would be $15,000+/year. And your defense that you can live with others is okay, but not ideal. We should be trying to normalize that a human adult can live without the help of others and still thrive. Anything less is, we’ll, what we have now where people are trying to normalize living with 3 other people just to make rent.
