The minimum wage dominates so much of our discourse considering it is such a small ~1% of total US labor with the bulk of actual minimum wage earners being people who are likely in college or still living with their parents. Sorry, but even high income earners in expensive cities generally go the route of having roommates. Those are the breaks until we can build more housing stock, and even then it wouldn't likely be wise even if you could squeeze by. Articles like this are pointless, the fact of the matter is that a 1BR is not some kind of entitlement and most people earning minimum wage don't tend to stay there all that long.
