It does sound like at $2,200/month, they're likely renting a nicer 1 bedroom, when they could be sharing a house or basement suite for half that price.

It depends on circumstance, we had (have?) a similar problem here in Banff and Canmore, businesses need workers to operate but regardless of how much you pay those workers...I dont even know if its affordability, but the inability to build anything there, especially in Banff, they have nowhere to live.
So you've got people living in vans because they've gotta cook your Elk at the Swinger's bar tomorrow.
They're probably not going on skiing holidays on the weekends and tearing it up with their buddies.
