Why is it so expensive to live? (rent & transportation edition)

Link to PART 1 🔗: • Why is it so expensive...
Hello, welcome or welcome back to my channel. In today’s video, we’re diving deep into two major factors that are making life unaffordable for so many-accommodation and transportation. From the skyrocketing rent prices in major cities to the rising costs of commuting, we’re exploring how these expenses are draining wallets worldwide. We’ll look at how renting is becoming more unattainable, even for people with stable incomes, and how the lack of rent control is driving up prices. We’ll also break down the costs of owning a car versus relying on public transportation, and how both options are becoming less affordable. Whether you’re dealing with high rent, rising gas prices, or the struggle of finding a safe, reliable way to get around, this video has it all covered.
🔑 Topics covered:
• High cost of rent and lack of affordable housing
• The impact of transportation on living expenses
• Car dependency and rising gas prices with people online from social media platforms like TikTok sharing their experience.
• The hidden dangers of public transportation
• Why walking may be the last affordable option

I'm loving this series. It's extremely important.

Fix the property tax system. Cap property taxes at $1/sq ft minus 50 sq ft (size of a prison cell) and $1k/acre for all property, business and residential. That way, taxes aren't a reason someone can use to hike rates. Add to that property insurance - these should not be for profit but much more regulated (or the government should have a form of insurance where they cover, but that's debatable). Our system is broken but we can fix it if we start capping greed!

I just read your bio - for the official record (according to me), sixth graders don't have anything on you. This video was well researched and presented...and necessary. I live in California, and if it hadn't been for my friend being a home owner and renting me a room, I would have been in an extremely difficult situation post-divorce. Anyhow, you have a new fan and subscriber. Keep up the good work!

Gal at seven mins...OK so take the landlord out of the equation...how long will you be living in your car ( or the woods) until you have enough to buy a house outright in your area ?

17:36 the safety issues come from the NYPD as well. Last week they literally did a mass shooting after things escalated after someone jumped the turnstile. 4 people were injured with one of them being another NYPD officer. They did a mass shooting over $2.90...
