Where do you think the grocery store workers are going to live when highly skilled professionals have to roommate to make rent?

I was responding to an assertion that engineers making 6 figures could not afford apartments.

I validated that they certainly can, on their own, and in an expensive area (Palo Alto) too.

I then said that the dynamic is even better with a room mate.

From this you infer I spoke of all affordability?

Why?

Understand, making wild unsubstantiatable and exaggerative assertions about affordability can invalidate a discussion. Stating fact instead of hyperbole is more appropriate.

Hence my response.
