No, you’re making things up entirely based on imaginary ideas. A studio for just a week’s worth of work a minimum wage? Even in the early 2000s that was practically a myth. No american I have ever known has paid less than half their wages for rent; including myself when I still lived in that shit hole.
Maybe the rich lived differently, and from your naive idealism it’s clear you did, but christ I would have loved to not pay nearly all my income for housing.
I’m basing everything on 2025 numbers. You seem to be just making claims based on vibes.
