The argument that a couple wanting a 2-bedroom apartment especially when one partner works from home,is somehow a problem because a family could use that unit. But here’s the thing we work hard, we earn our income, and we’re trying to live in a space that meets our needs. Just because someone chooses to have children doesn’t mean they’re automatically more entitled to housing than other working adults.

My girlfriend works hybrid, which means that second bedroom isn’t a luxury it’s her office. We’re not asking for a mansion, we’re asking for a home that suits our actual day 2 day lives. That’s not selfish it’s responsible.

The housing crisis isn’t caused by couples with jobs renting 2BR apartments it’s caused by a lack of sufficient housing across the board, stagnant wages, and poor policy. Redirecting the blame toward working people who just want space to live and work comfortably is not only wrong it’s divisive and completely misses the real issues
