Here's the minimum expense breakdown for DFW from MIT which the article is based on: https://livingwage.mit.edu/metros/19100 (totaling $32,371 for a 1 adult 0 child household, for which they use a zero-bedroom apartment).
Note that the median household income pre-tax is $58.2k (Dallas, 2.5 persons/household) to $67.9k (FW, 2.8 persons/household). So a single earning 65k after tax complaining that that's near poverty line sounds pretty entitled to me. (For LA the median gross income is $69.8k for 2.75 persons/household.)
