Upstate New York here. Minimum rent is about a thousand dollars a month – and that’s in a bad part of town. And if you want heat or windows, it’s even worse… (It’s generally advertised and shown at roughly $650 or so, but after one moves in, they’re slammed with about $500 of random fees out of nowhere.)
Then how about California where they made it difficult to build new housing, then wondered why there was a housing crisis? That many people have been rendered homeless by the recent fires does not help matters.
rental property costs: heating oil at 3.89 per gallon-300gallon tank=1200.00; property taxes {NJ] 4000.00 quarterly, electricity .89 KWH for mimimum 1000 kwh usage, water/sewage fees 300.00 quarterly, property upkeep [lawn care, snow removal,etc.] 500.00 quarterly=monthly rental not less than 2500.00 monthly just for the property owner to break even. best day of my life was the day that property sold.

I blame greedy landlords. rent should be 25-30% of one’s income, not 50-70%.

Needs to find a sanctuary city, surely they’d take him in. Does this qualify as sanctuary if he flees to a church?

Tell me about it. I’m paid only $2000 and I can’t find a place for less than $700. Btw, 30% of $2000 is $600.

And you wonder why Capitalism has such a bad reputation. What good is a society if you cannot afford to live there?
