@weiguksa's comment on 'r/Ottawa hustle and bustlecels sneed about rent'

https://old.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/vgpgav/how_are_you_supposed_to_live_here_on_1500_per_hour?sort=controversial

From our OP

how do you divide a month into 160 hours full time? most sites say 30-40 hours per week is full time, so 130 per month is considered the "average"

What do you mean I can't afford an apartment downtown working 32.5 hours a week :soycry:

Centretown’s average household income among property owners in between 85k and 90k.

In 2020 the household median income was 66k.

So yeah, Ottawa is quite a prohibitive market. So are the overwhelming majority of major cities in the country. It’s a real problem.

Using one bedrooms as a gauge for where min wage should be would not work, everyone would need to make 60k ish to be able to live on their own comofortably, and thats about double min wage. You cant just double min wage without wrecking everything.

maybe i'm a wacky leftist but... good? lets make everyone get 60k?? why not?

If you read anything in this thread read this chain, truly the peak of reddit financial literacy.

If you work for minimum wage sorry, you shouldn't expect to live on your own. Not in today's world.

What the actual frick am I reading. If you've been dealt a bad spawn and bad cards at life, you 100% deserve to be able to live somewhere and alone. I've found yet another reason to hate our society. Can't believe people like you actually exist. Cannot live alone because you make min wage wtf???

Oh and before you label me, I make 75k a year so no I'm not someone else who is making min wage and trying to leech the system.

Being born a leaf is tantamount to being griefed every day of your life :marseyagree:

I'm sorry. I'm neurodivergent and suffer from PTSD and depression.

It's impossible for me to live with another human, because that would stress me out immediately! I mean if I want to sleep and they go to the potty, that is impossible. Or if I'm home and on reddit on the weekend and they have friends over? My social anxiety would kill me, thus I couldn't even go to the potty!

Thus I deserve a 2 (at least!) bedroom flat!
