you attacked a person for being a bad example because they are struggling and not at rock bottom because people exist at the bottom.

That's not my intentions. I question her choices, but that doesn't mean she has an option that would 100% fix her situation. It would probably be hard to find a 2-bedroom for $1500/mo and she'd still have over 50% of her paycheque going to housing.

My concern is articles highlighting cases like this allow people to disregard the housing crisis as just people unwilling to tighten their belts. Like "stop eating avocado toast" or "cancel Disney+", there's no quick fix.
