the statistic for one bedrooms is almost as bad. In 93% of US counties, you can't afford a one bedroom on a minimum wage salary

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

same. the minimum wage should be a living wage but we're nowhere close

this isn't about cities. there's not a single US state where you can afford a two bedroom on a full time minimum wage salary. And for 93% of US counties, you can't afford a one bedroom
