I know municipal public servant money isn't great, but uhhh, if you're running water treatment plants? You should damned well be able to live comfortably.

If you're earning low $100s, you can no longer afford to buy. Then, if you've got a family, you're stuck paying 3500-4000 in rent, living pay cheque to pay cheque wondering when your next eviction is. Not much of a life.
