And how does that "experienced secretary" live? Have you ever been to house? Ever seen her car? Determined the condition of her teeth; her health? She shares an apartment with other renters. It's probably not all that nice, but its as nice a place as she has ever lived, so it's fine for her. People don't generally mind basic accomodation until they've had better. As for her teeth, she probably hasn't been to the dentist, ever! Trust me, when I tell you that $43K for a family of 4 is not a living wage in WA state. The median rent for a two bedroom in the Seattle metro area is greater than your "experienced secretary's" salary. So you should be pushing for more low income housing developments. That's one problem with the housing development market - it seems all the developers want to build the snazziest state of the art hi tech beautiful building for the most well off families when what is needed in many places is loads of cheap, basic accomodation near the cities.
