Recent rainfall put just a small dent in CA's severe water shortages, but it wasn't enough. The state has been in a period of #drought for three years now. Even after the drenching rains, about half the state still faces "severe drought". #disasterimpact

From 2019 Dec - 2022 Dec, rent increased in St. Pete by more than 50%. Now builders are taking advantage of the need for housing. "They keep building and building and building, which I understand, however, the housing they’re building is not affordable."
