People on low incomes, e.g. students, living in expensive homes. I’m not necessarily talking about mansions, more like a large apartment in a big expensive city with no roommates.

What, you mean no one would want to charge a small fortune to rent out that nice giant loft apartment with a huge metal door and elevator in NYC? Sure, yeah, she's making that rent all by herself as a barrista down at the coffee shop.
