I understand what you are saying if you cut everything down to the bone maybe you can if you are forced to.
All I am saying as that is not exactly what most city dwellers call living in a modern society.
If it were we may as well sell up and move to Spain or some beach place with no jobs and go on the dole.
Even if you disagree you only need to look at the government estimates.
Actually if the whole country lived like you were the economy would likely be screwed and in the recession that followed living costs would come down because house prices would probably collapse.
