Was it?

I wasn't alive in the 60's, but it was my understanding a minimum-wage worker could afford an apartment without a 2ond income or roommate.  Correct me if I'm wrong?

If this is true, then what has changed?  Are there too many people seeking housing now?  If so, what is driving that trend?  Immigration policy perhaps?  Let's see, we let in well over 1,000,000 people here every year, far more than any Western country by vast orders of magnitude, and perhaps unaffordable housing is one of the end-results? Just some thoughts.
