How do people afford to pay the rent in LA and NY (00 for one-room apartment)?

I'm under the impression that most young people who lives in NYC tend to have roommates to split the rent costs if their salary is low, which may not be enough to cover the high costs of living on their own.
Otherwise, working professionals who earn six figures a year and spoiled trust fund babies can afford the high rent costs.
Also, it's common to hear about working professionals who live in either New Jersey or Pennsylvania to commute to/from NYC for work. This is what my nieces and nephew have done for years (NJ-NYC daily train commute).
One drawback about the daily train commute: it's ridiculously expensive; it takes a huge chunk out of one's monthly budget.
