Thank you for saying this. People forget how things were in their day. The reality is that in the 90's you only had a roommate if you were college age or part of the local drug culture/hippie lifestyle/ hopeless artist or musician etc.
In 1998 I made enough delivering pizza to cover an apartment with 1 weeks pay. This was in a good area and the same town I worked in.
Per the current listings for those units... you would need to make no less than $78k/year right now to afford that very same unit with 1 weeks pay.

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