Yes, or get a third job... what a joke. Most low wage earners do not have a fixed schedule, it changes every week or two. Try to juggle two jobs when you have no idea when you will be working next week or next month.
Every worker has started at a low wage. Few, if any, start at the top of any wage scale.
That motivates most workers to improve their skills, improve their education, or take the steps necessary to get a better wage.
If only incentives were given for the millions of excuses given about why someone can't get another job.
Maximum unrelated occupancy ordinances exist and have not been overturned.
Wherever do you get your corny ideas?
I know a family of six that lived in a 2BR house - that was okay because they were related, but three unrelated would have been unlawful.
I currently live in a state where state law prohibits local occupancy limits more restrictive than the federal guideline. But most states leave occupancy standards to local government.
The Federal occupancy standard creates a minimum number of people allowed, not a maximum.
Problem is, if one roommates loses their job, replacing the lost rental income is rarely seamless and is often a protracted struggle because many do not quietly go away and you can't get a paying roommate until the deadbeat is gone.
Being poor makes life difficult. It should be a good motivation for one to get out of poverty as quickly as they are able.

"Oh please." That's a good reply when you've been caught making statements you can't back up or made up. How about you back up what you said? Of course not, you can't. The more you post, the credibility you lose.
The Federal occupancy standard creates a minimum number of people allowed, not a maximum. The only failure here is yours.
"It creates a minimum number of people allowed"? So, are two people prohibited from renting a three bedroom apartment? HUD guidelines provide a baseline for landlords so that they aren't forced to rent a one bedroom apartment to 10 people, and to ensure that landlords don't put arbitrarily low occupancy limits on a rental in order to discourage families with children from renting. If HUD suggests that a reasonable number is two per bedroom and five people want to rent a one bedroom apartment the landlord can refuse without having HUD agree to hear a fair housing complaint.

No, it creates a minimum number that a landlord must allow. Two people can absolutely rent a three bedroom apartment. The guideline prevents a landlord from saying that no more than two people can rent theat same three bedroom house - the landlord must allow at least six people.

Agreed, and I haven't said anything different.
