If you're in a major city, this is probably a safe assumption, but there are plenty of areas where an extra bedroom is a pretty modest expense. A few years ago I had a nice 2 bedroom apartment right off the campus of a major midwest college for $900 a month - I had a nice king sized bed in the bedroom, and a man cave room with a gaming rig and music gear. It's one of the advantages of living outside of the biggest cities.

Or if you live in an outer neighborhood of a big city.

I have a 2br in Chicago and its very affordable on one income

Indeed, an SF salary and an East Bay apartment is what allows me to afford my 2BR.
