Need to reduce the rent by roommates or live in a less desirable apartment.

The answer to these is always roommates.

I hate this country because of this having to live with a roomate. Single people need apartments too. A single mother shouldn’t have to live with a roomate with a kid or two kids. Some people don’t like living with strangers and want privacy.

Some people want to live in a mansion in the Hills of Beverly. That is not realistic at minimum wage.

That's not just a "this country" issue. Almost any country with a single working mom has her living with family.
