83. When You Don't Pay A Living Wage, This Is What You Get
It never ceases to amaze me. People want to pay less than the cost of living in an area, and they just assume that the costs will vanish into thin air. Well, in order to get labor at minimum wage levels or less, you have to put up with multiple families in one house. That's the tradeoff. These people can afford to work for less because they're living at below the cost of living by sharing one house.

Either pay cost of living to laborers or don't complain about how they live.
