    Infrastructure is also so often ignored. I know years back when me and my friends were poor a lot of them were in some sort of rinkydink housing on account of being poor and what you get his maybe a mini-kitchennette, usually with no freezer and a minifridge which makes buying cheap and preparing bigger batches to save time so much harder
