Minimum wage isn't enough to pay for a roof over your head... unless you mean the roof of a car...
not with all the other bills and stuff to pay for. at least here.
and cars are getting more and more expensive because our car industry doesn't want to sell to consumers anymore, living in cars is not as viable.
living in cars is never "viable" it's just what some people do when thier only other alternative is living under a bridge...
in our case, it's straight under the bridge.
Unhoused people living in cars aren't buying new cars, so it doesn't really matter what car manufacturers are doing today for them... and the maintenance costs are still way lower than paying rent
used cars are exploding in price in my country too, because of the restricted supply of new cars.
