My 1st apartment was a homestead cabin 5 miles through the woods from the nearest neighbor. No electricity, a hand pump (and outhouse) out back. Rent was my sweat equity in fixing-up an old house that hadn't been lived in for forty-odd years. When I think back on it, it makes me realize the difference between the things I "need" and the things I "want".
I would have to agree however, that for rent to be truly affordable (in an urban environment), it should not exceed 30% of the gross household income.
