Poverty is a reasonable justification for many things, but it never just makes someone a rapist or murderer. Frankly, you're coming off like someone without any personal experience with poverty

You're not going to find something that caters to "young professionals" (gag) that is 1400 per month. You better raise that 300-600 dollars then you might find something. Otherwise, prepare for a roommate.

In the 90s, Richmond. Today? DC or Philadelphia
