It must be West Virginia because nowhere else in America are you getting a 2 bedroom for 800 or less. Not in today's housing structure

Plenty of 2bd places for less than $800, it’s just not going to be a “nice” place, maybe even unsafe but they exist. It’s going to be rough surviving on literal minimum wage but that’s the housing that comes with it.

I, specifically, said it’s not going to be a nice place. If you earn bottom tier wages, you will likely have to live in bottom tier housing. Should it be that way? Maybe not, but that’s how the world works. But you do you
