I think it is reasonable as a society that we should have options for living alone that are affordable.. or otherwise pay living wages.

  Based on what do you think that? You can be happy, healthy, and safe, even if you have to share a kitchen and bathroom. Single-resident dwellings are the exception throughout human history. Not that I necessarily disagree with you - I'm still figuring out how exactly to think about this issue.

    It’s based on universal human rights.

      Which ones, though? I can imagine a utopian city where everyone lives in dorms and uses public dining and bath facilities. In that thought experiment, it's hard to feel like anyone's rights are being trampled. And it's not clear that sharing a flat with another person has to be a worse arrangement than that. PS: Did you really feel that anyone would find that answer helpful? Or was it just a veiled rendition of "clearly, if you disagree with me then you are a priori too morally bankrupt to have this conversation"? The latter attitude is poor approach to dealing with people who might otherwise be persuaded to your way of thinking.

  Everywhere in the US? Because that’s not a reasonable expectation in places like SF, NYC or even Irvine. There are plenty of places in the US where a teller making $15/hr could have their own apartment.
