This is one room of a "two room apartment" occupied by a Richmond Shipyard worker's family of five. Rent is $40. "We're from Idaho," they say, "and there we rented a whole house for $10. There were good schools, too, and something to do of an evening. None of that here. For the children's sake we expect to return in time for school - this is too much."
