Yeah, because $16k is enough to survive.

A diet of nothing but rice and beans, living in a rented room in a garage, and dumpster diving for all the remaining necessities and you can almost live in California!

I'm on a fixed income and cannot live in California. I do thanks to parents giving me some intergenerational wealth early by paying my $2k-ish rent for me. (They're in their eighties and still alive.)

You're right, of course. But I also think it would open up a giant loophole for the wealthy. A car is essential for survival! A three million dollar car? ... A 15,000sqft house?

Of course, they could set reasonable limits. But when was the last time congress was reasonable?
