The market is so gut wrenching right now. 1 bed apartments not even IN the city are going for $1500-1700. You have to make 3x the rent to even be considered, thats $28-32 an hour. But when you look at jobs hiring they’re paying well under $20…. Like?? how we supposed to live
Went apartment hunting yesterday with a 27-year-old desperate to find a home for her and her kids, after being unhoused for the last year. Each landlord charged a fee to apply. One required a $60 app fee AND a $150 admin fee, up front, both nonrefundable. The extortion is unreal.
The same apartments that were just $700-800 are now $1200-1300 in the GHETTO. People making $19-20 an hour STILL struggling , working 2 jobs STILL struggling. Groceries high , gas high , like do y’all not see this shit or y’all don’t care?
