I think Will Stancil’s goalposts aren’t the same as those of the many he argues with.

Don’t know about “never been the case.” 40 years ago I put myself through school on a $5/hr part-time job—a little over 1/3 todays minimum wage, but my housing was about 1/6 today’s norm. Wages haven’t kept up with housing costs. It was tight then but do-able.

The typical rule of thumb for rent is 30% of gross income, including utilities. That would be $725 per your calculation, less than the many apts on Craigslist and that would assume that the worker doesn’t have to have any family that would also need to fit.

True, but in Will Stancil’s city, where I also live, a full time worker at McDonald’s could not afford an apartment, just as a starter.

Understanding the extent to which “community engagement” is absolutely DOMINATED by older, mostly white homeowners is absolutely key to understanding why your city looks the way it does. Graphic via Boston Planning Department

You have to be incredibly shallow and intellectual lazy to believe that the only thing holding up our collective memory of the past is a statue. 🗃️
