Why is a 1 bedroom not suitable for a couple. Min wage should reflect the minimum amount required to meet basic needs, it is not meant to afford you all the luxuries in the world. A couple in a 1 bedroom would be able to afford the 1 bedroom and the potential ability to save for a down payment.
Perhaps the combination of factors should be an individual enough for a bachelor, a couple for a 1 bedroom and a family for a 2-3 bedroom.
