Places with houses costing less than the price of the cheapest new car. But of course people want to live in the nicest places. Just don't want to have to pay the cost. Me either.

Well, OK. This has been done in many cities over many years. Even the most liberal economists in many studies have found problems with rent control and such things to try and lower rents. It causes landlords to spend even less on maintenance, fewer rental units are built and rental units are converted to owner occupied condos. In NYC, SF and LA there has been a 17-20% reduction in rental units over the years of rent control while demand has increased. That has caused rents to increase a lot. It does benefit some people currently in units but they're forced to stay in those units. The fundamental problem is so many people want to live in vert limited areas. Look at the size of AZ and look at the tiny areas almost the entire population lives in. The value of those tiny areas is only going to increase as long as we keep making people. We would have to take assets away from owners and give them to a few renters. Not exactly the American way.

The rental office did a number on me. I cleaned my apartment so good and left it spotless. I was never late paying my rent for over ten years. I got rid of the mustard ugly seventies tile and replaced it with up to date beautiful kitchen floor. They kept my security deposit and tried to make me pay $25.00 to have them clean my apartment. I told them you never looked in my apartment and if you had other renters leave their place like I did you'd never have to have anyone clean them. I rented so long that you saved from not have to fix it up for all the customers that you would have had if I hadn't stayed all that time. You colored on the ten year interest from it.

Sadlly we will start seeing more of this as rent and housing prices greatly outpace the cost of living. Wages are not keeping up with how expensive things have gotten. It is not only affecting housing but health care. I am trying to figure out how to pay for the two crowns I need to save my teeth. Deductibles for healthcare are so high you can't afford to go to the doctor. I fortunatley was able to take some money out of my 401k to be able to purchase a home. I will now be able to rent out my extra room but that will mean no place for my kids to stay when they come to visit. I shouldn't need to do this as I like living alone but I am barely able to pay for month to month items. I only make $18.64 per hour after being a medical assistant for over 15 years and that just doesn't go very far. Last year my raise was .64 and the year before that was .22 an hour. No where near keeping up with inflation. I am also fortunate as I have the ability to work over time but at 61 working 50 to 60 hours per week is exhausting and not where I thought I would be in life. Lastly, my most glorious day was the day I moved out of my apartment. They gouge you every way they can and have you sign a thick stack of papers basically allowing them free range to charge you whatever they want. As I wanted to buy a house I asked how much it would be to go month to month. It would have gone from $1400 per month to $1700 per month. I couldn't afford it and had to end up renting a tiny studio apartment that I was able to get with a 4 month lease on. Still over $1000 a month. I lost so much money on moving cost and rental fees. I was fortunante to have gotten a house after 2 months so now I know I will hopefully never have to live in an apartment again. I still had to pay to move again. This has to stop. My heart goes out to her and how strong she is. At some of my darkest moments I thought about ending it. I did not expect heading into my golden years that would become much more challenging and I would be stuggling this much after working so hard. They keep raising the age for being able to get social security. Now I have to work until I am 67 before I can get it. The only one getting help families getting tax credit when seniors have no one helping them as the cost of everything skyrockets.

It's just a matter of short time before anyone living alone will be an anomaly given the rising cost of rent. And just like dozens of homebuyers are competing to be selected in the purchase of a house some renters are now offering more money than the asking rental prices to secure a roof over their heads.
