I wonder if breaking point be when rents exceed the means of 2 people? Something like 60% of their combined take home pay.

In urban centers, you'll just see three or four professionals per family home or apartment. The families will leave town, either to the suburbs with a soul-crushing commute or to a smaller city.

I've seen groups of 5-6 roommates looking at 1 bedrooms in Brooklyn.
