The city has the second-highest cost of living in the state and, according to a new study by Loyola University, it is contributing to peoples' struggle to make ends meet.........

Bigger cities have a higher cost of living.

Yeah, this is getting out of hand.

I don't think 55k is unreasonable for a two income home

I found the article interesting because of what the study blamed and the proposed solutions - IMO - we are slowly becoming more reliant on the government to keep a standard of living that is "dignified" - "who" not "what" defines this "dignified life" is the most important question. We are the proverbial frog in the water and pinko ideals are beginning to boil.

The study blames low wages, hurricanes, and inadequate social programs for reasons why people struggle. It suggests increasing the minimum wage to $10.10, more government-based social programs, and expanding services like food stamps and child care assistance networks. More affordable housing options and transportation investments would also help, researchers added.

I think they mean quite the opposite. Enough money to comfortably get by.
