While this sentence might be true, how is it revelatory or relevant? Working class can't expect to have median-priced lodgings. Working class lodgings will always be much less expensive than middle class (Median-priced) lodgings. If you build a lot more affordable housing it will bring down the median price, but the working class will still not be living in median price lodgings. Is it your belief that a person working 40 hours at minimum wage should be able to afford a place of their own in which to live? That has not been something that ever existed in this country or many others. Housing might be too expensive and the minimum lower than it should be, but they will never converge. The solution has always been friends and family, sharing lodgings. A big cause of homelessness is the inability to form stable relationships with which to establish shared lodgings. Two can live almost a cheaply as one and if they both have an income, they can improve their lodging options. We know what causes people to not be able to form stable relationships and some of them are incurable.
