I rented a 3-bedroom apartment in the early 2010s for $1250 with some friends. I just checked and similar apartments in that neighborhood are $2500-3900 now
I agree that renting alone wasn’t an option for our generations but it’s become even worse. Pay has not kept up with housing costs at all
Yeah exactly. I paid way to much compared to what I made I later moved to a cheaper place. I made 6.76 an hour and had my own place. Today minimum wage is 7.25 and rent is over 1000.
