Yep. You get paid $6.15 an hour and you live in any urban center, you're going to live with a lot of people.

I think we have a few folks here who can give some direct experience about what it's like to currently (not when you were some kid) be an adult making lousy money or to live in a place where the best job you can hope for is 30 hours a week at a fast food place - just enough money to pay some of your rent, and nothing else.

So, Picard120 - I feel for you. I hate slow elevators and tight crowds...but I also wonder about the economics of overcrowding and homelessness at a time where we have 1 in 10 homes in foreclosure here in the USA - and more to come.
