From their study, they also use the 40th percentile of rent, which manipulates their results to their favor as well.
Also, roommates are a thing. It's absurd to suggest that everyone, even minimum wage workers, should be entitled to their own private kitchen, bathroom, and living room, let alone an extra bedroom on top of it. Americans rank among the highest in living space per Capita, so we spend emit a lot of CO2 heating and cooling spaces that we're not even inside.

Well, I've known quite a few lower class, paycheck to paycheck families, and they would NEVER run an AC or heater without someone in the room. Poor people aren't the reason all that CO2 is being emitted, it's the people with multiple houses.

- Aunche 5y agoI'm not criticizing poor people, as they do live with roommates. I'm criticizing the people like the author of this article who assume that every worker should be entitled to their own one or two-bed apartment.
