"DOWNSIZING" Wilson and Patricia Martinez cut their housing costs by moving out of a $575 a month apartment and purchasing a tiny trailer for $900. Wilson, 33, works as an assistant restaurant cook earning $8.50 an hour. His pay, which is $3.35 an hour more that the federally mandated $5.15, was not enough to support the family of four in the apartment.
