Tiny home villages

YAS, I so agree with you. Fixed rates and adequate food supply.

Greed won’t happen just 😞

There are. They are called subsidized senior housing. The wait lists are super long though since people usually only move out when they can no longer live alone.

Please ✨👏🏾

It's a slum and I'm sad that poor woman has to live there in the first place.

True sad

@@mskatonic2124 it's her choice to live there, probably had next to nothing for rent before people went insane. People who have money don't understand that even 200 extra dollars on rent can cause someone to spiral out of control.

@@worldcure7883 Brought to you be the same folks that believe that everyone has a choice as to how their life will turn out. You don't have a much choice as you think you do and the sell this illusion to most folks and they don't even realize it. Programming at its finest. You do know she is 88 years old right? What's the alternative a crazy A** expensive retirement facility that abuses it residents? Come on.

@@worldcure7883 if we keep looking the other way when it happens; it will become the NORM! And that IS exactly what is happening. It might not affect you, but when you see tent cities and homeless encampments in your neighborhoods! It affects the next generations the most. Home ownership is out of reach for half of Americans. Be prepared for children to live at home forever because they won’t be able to afford rent.

Me too smh

Mine too. And makes me very angry 🤬💔🤬

This is 😢 sad

Yep, that was hard to watch. She's 88 years old and it's times like these that I wish I was Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett (you get the idea) because I would truly fly there and pay her rent for as long as she lives.

Me too 😢

Yes but she is CHOOSING to live there. She could get a Studio for half the price.....

@@jenleigh342 you can't find any studio or 1 bedroom for 700 bucks, wtf are you kidding? This place is that cheap because it is derelict.

Greed. Metastatic end stage capatalism

It's just business.. That's why you buy instead of rent

@@ipman4715 are you dumb just plain dumb do you know how much it takes to buy a house. The housing market is out of control. Businesses are buying them up and put higher rent price on them.

Yes, I totally agree. USA has done a poor jobs over decades not caring for the poor elderly. Keeping them inheartbreaking and without! This is heartbreakingp.

I have an idea. Maybe your entire community could stop abandoning children, then they’d grow up to care more for the elderly.

Royaltee seriously? Your community is shooting up the entire country and headed toward segregation again, and this is what you put energy into?

That's you own your pic ??? You fine man should be paying your rent like me baby lm fat lm ugly but l got money hshahahahahahahahahshahahahshaha

Yes we need tooo sad

I have never seen anything like this is my life! I couldn’t afford to pay that expensive rent.

it's not just seniors it's all renters

And it's not right because while all the cost of living continues to go up with inflation salaries are stagnate or going down. What a wonderful way to bankrupt or crash an economy which is already in the process of happening.

Rent control is not the answer.

@@dcg590 then what is the answer?

This story touched you because you have Compassion, Morals & A good Heart. UNLIKE these corrupt property owners!

That’s a sign that the LORD Sabaoth: the Holy One of Israel is coming!

My mother was a landlord. She was not "cold" or "greedy" unlike what many of you people think. Landlords have bills of their own to pay (mortgage, maintenance and utilities which some tenants take advantage of by not moderating water usage). Who should pay the landlord's bills Peggy? Tell us. ( _"Well Sean I never said your mom was cold or greedy but most landlords are blah blah blah and many of them are very wealthy and they're racist and sexist and they take advantage of the elderly, and we should help the elderly by taking the money from Wall Street, yeah that's what we should do...and we should print more money and tax the rich because the rich are greedy and they don't pay their fair share..."_ )

@@sean2015 I see at this point. It’s best for people to just buy a home!

@@Yah-Izoa-Hakaboth no, renting is usually a better option. Gives you more flexibility to move if you need to, and also if something ever breaks, leaks or doesn’t work…it’s someone else’s responsibility to fix it. You never have to shovel snow, trim hedges nor do you have to worry about water bills.

@@sean2015 That’s true Sean! Definitely the grass is a headache! But I can say for myself that I’m blessed that my rent isn’t high like in other states! I thank the LORD for that man!

When you liberals voted to double rental prop taxes 2 years ago did you think that cost would not be passed to the tenant ??

Me too. 💔🙏💔

What does corporate America have to do with it? You want socialism to take over? It doesn't work, my friend.

@@stevelee7781 where did they vote for this?

You probably voted for it, these are the results of begging government to fix it. "We're here to help" politicians isn't free or even the cheapest option.

Also, they don’t have the option to move anywhere else because most people don’t have enough money saved to move if they didn’t plan on moving.

Well, unfortunately owning property is a business and landlords have a right to make money like any other business. People need to prepare for retirement much better. Also, where is her family? Her kids need to help her

@@dcg590 Lisa I have to say owning property is a fortunate thing. Yes, that’s why people buy rentals is to make money but I’m calling it for what it is… greed. It’s called rent control, you raise rents a percentage every year and that’s why it exists for people like her against unlawful landlords like him. So if your monthly income was decreased by 70% at any given notice that would be ok, It’s business right ???? Not everyone have the means to prepare for retirement. As far as her family is concerned… there are a lot of things “We All Need to do” so honestly I hadn’t thought about it I was so focused on the horribleness of her situation. I pray your never hit with “life” and “need” help in your old age. By Lisa

@@dcg590 You'll also have the right to regret it all when the working class finally snaps and comes after you landlords.

@@cosmicllama6910 I’m not a landlord. I’m someone with logic. You can come after whomever you like, if you like jail.

So stop renting.

@@IH8stpdppl Not all of us are physically able to take care of our own home. Renting used to be an excellent option for those of us with disabilities in Michigan until only ten years ago.

I know right where that place is and it is a dump. Those slum lords should be ashamed of themselves.

Exactly

@@mskatonic2124 they should be ashamed but they’re not ‘cause it’s about the $$$.

@@M2025 Well are they the cause of the outside of the building falling apart? I guess it s the responsibility of an 88 year old lady to keep up with all that stuff. And I wonder why this society is on the verge of collapse. Interesting indeed.

It’s a business to make money, like every other business. Why when a landlord wants to make money is it greed? Yes this is unfortunate but it’s not someone else’s job to house you. People seem to think landlords are supposed to take the financial hit for you. No. Eviction moratoriums caused this. Landlords forced to house people for free for 2 years while they lose everything, now it’s time to make up losses and these people take the brunt of it. It’s sucks

I definitely think so. They trying to recuperate loses which is not the tenants problem. To increase 70 percent is outrageous and that management group needs to do work on that house, it's in bad shape

Yep. Its really about the covid thing. Rents jacked up everywhere so the companies and landlords to recoup money from past two years. Same with car rental companies. Thrifty slammed me in florida by adding $300 to a bill. A hotel i have been a regular customer for years slammed me 1 nights fee for a cancellation i had made on time then lied and said it was "untimely. So sorry about this lady. I am senior too and very lucky I live under rent control. I was going to move before the pandemic but that changed things. Now all the "cheap places are skyrocketing. Glad I stayed put.

Yes it sucks for everyone especially the landlords who have been seriously screwed. Even people who paid during eviction moratorium are now dealing with rent hikes because of those who chose not to pay, all while getting handed more money they’ve ever seen thanks to tax payers. I feel for her yet understand why this is happening. Consequences to eviction moratoriums.

Agree. I think it's another consequence of covid "relief", which did nothing but prolong deeper issues.

@@dcg590 , agree!

Her daughter should take her in as a tenant.

What do they think 88 year olds are making

@@Landis_Grant this may shock you but many elderly people don't want to live with their kids, or people in general

@@FC-hj9ub They’re loners?

They do that when people seem overwhelmed or don't know what to say. A lot of people kinda blank when on camera via the news, especially when it's about a stressful event. It irks me too but I understand why they do it

Right

It's criminal.

Michigan is greedy and corrupt!! It's all about MONEY here.

THAT'S what I want to know as well.....

America is now called the land of the greedy , the heartless corporations that do not give a rats add if these seniors are kicked to the curb, stay strong seniors , God is s miracle worker, blessings!

Same thing in Fl

It’s happening in majority of larger cities in US and in Canada as well.

I noticed that no KZfaq video showed seniors about to be kicked out of their apartment telling the reporter “I am so old and useless. I feel like dying. I am a burden to my family and society”. In my own family, my father-in-law used to say “don’t feed me so much food because I will end up in the furnace anyways”. I know of other elderly seniors who wanted to die even if they were not worried about the rising cost of living (or dying).

You are extremely fortunate. Blessed really. It is hard out here.

You Boomers loved smoking your cancer sticks and sipping those star bucks lattes and renting instead of buying a home when they were nice and affordable. Now they're getting price hikes crammed up their butts and whining about it on the 6 o clock News.

Pray it stays that way, more and more apartments like yours are sold and the rents skyrocket!

@@dianehess5520 I thought that too, but these apartments are under a 40 year contract with the government, I spoke with the manager about it, we do a terrible job of taking care of our senior citizens, or even those that are less fortunate, our city is probably not the best city but it's trying to change especially for the homeless, I live next to a hotel, the city turned it into a complex for the homeless, they're like small apartments, there are things we can do, I wish you well and be safe.

That's so sad

yes, I know several that sold everything and bought an RV to live the life in. It was fun for a bit now they can't find RV parks much of the time to park in. Also with the supply chain issues they are lacking in parts for the RV repairs. Gas prices climbing they are sorry, now they can't afford to buy a house again.

Yeap and then now WITH THE MILLIONS COMING FROM EVERY COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD, THEY'RE GOING TO GET FIRST PICK IN HOUSING CAUSE THE GOV IS GOING TO SET THEM UP, BUT THATS LESS HOUSING FOR THE ONES HERE NOW!!!

At 88, she isn’t working so no employment income only social security.

So true. I lived in one apartment for about 20 years, rent went up modestly. When the landlord past away his wife raised the rent by 50%. I had to get a second job. Then within a year she sold to a corporation. They raised it slightly for the first year. After that we all received a letter actually telling us they were "excited" that property values had gone up, and they would be raising the rent to reflect the new value. Shortly after that I bought a house.

@@jdeez69 I don't know what la la land you're living in to think people lived rent free.

@@jdeez69 well my rent was paid every month on time 1,100 and no payments missed so you don’t know what you talking about

@@jdeez69 While it is true that evictions were curtailed in 2020, rent payments were not forgiven. If one didn't pay their rent, they still owe it. Eviction will inevitably come if they don't make arrangements with their landlords to pay. But that's not what this news article is about. This is off topic. This news article is about rent increases, not eviction moratoriums.

@@mariejenkins-stephens6176 what sucks for you is even though you paid, many didn’t so the rent hike is due to such enormous losses taken by landlords due to freeloaders. Completely unfair to those who paid. I’m so sorry

If the landlords expenses aren't increasing, there's no reason for them to increase rent outside of greed. This is gentrification.

They should condemn that bld and tear it down that greedy landlord,and also all blds that charge to much for the working people. that will show the greedy landlords whose the boss

Property taxes continues to rise (the education tax is the highest) and property insurance continues to rise even if you have no claims! New roof is $4,000 or more.

Everything is more expensive these days. Repair cost, maintenance everything. And heck, some landlord maybe trying to recover from the money lost due to coverage.

You can bet they are making renovation to their own homes talking about landlord. More money never seems to see the better product. Appartment needs upgrading yet up the price now degrading .

@@sct4040 *immigrants

Great idea; lets give millions to Ukraine loads of free weapons while our people go hungry and cant pay their rent. Disgusting.

Texas is open 4 rent 🌵

In my area it is around $1000 for studio apartments, way over that for one bedrooms. There are never enough "Senior" apartments, and they aren't lower priced. You are expected to apply to the state for rent assistance, which if a person is accepted, takes around three years to take effect. I could go on and on, but we'd all get more depressed.

I was paying 900 for a garage 🤦🏽‍♀️ in the sfv

I'm a senior and amazed how many my age never bought a home when they were so affordable for decades. I bought my house and 5 nice rentals working as a hairdresser. No mortgage and the rental income I'm set for life. My kids and grandkids will inherit the properties so their lives will be better.

@dd dd - Which countries do UK pensioners prefer to live in?

right those look from the early 90's

You ain't lying!!! They look old and worn out!!!

And the stove 😩

If the rent was more they could afford to make improvements. Take an Econ class

@@dcg590 Sweerie, you obviously have not heard of tenants rights and Fair Housing Laws. They are NOT allowed to let a property run down into squalor. Try reading about housing laws and you obviously never passed a college level Econ class in your life because you should/have to fix the property BEFORE charging more rent or buyers price. That's why people buy fixer upper properties.😂 Also it's *were more not was more, you never took a proper English class either. 💀

It’s because she/they KEEP it like a dump!! The outside is not great but tenants have control of how they keep their living space!!

Are you serious did you see them dated appliances no granite countertop no stainless steel the bathroom is not updated old interior paint no new flooring it is a dump talking about nearly 1400 a month for what? I would have packed my mother things up immediately to come stay with me for sure!

She must like it , if she keeps staying there

Agree!!! As long as the rent covers the mortgage and they are a good tenant, leave them alone. They are already paying the cost of your investment.

@@vdeniceeckert3494 because the rent is so low

I live in the boonies kinda near Crossville ( 1 hour east of Cookeville) and it's happening here, too. People are buying little plots of land and building all these cookie cutter homes out here in the middle of nowhere. It looks so out of place. I moved out here to get away from that nonsense. I'd also like to mention that a lot of land here on the plateau is being scalped for more land for massive livestock farms.... Which is much better (visually) than homes being built but it hurts to see it happen because it's really hurting the family farms. The people who own the land out here are apparently very greedy.

@@fioregiallo My mom grow up in Nolensville Tennessee and it used to be so beautiful out there. I remember people riding horses up and down the street. That’s why I use to love to come and visit my grandparents when we moved away. My grandparents had a horse, pigs and cows and my aunt lived down the street and she had a couple of horses and cows. Now it’s cluttered with houses just like Brentwood. I moved to Kannapolis North Carolina when I was in first grade. It use to be pretty there too but it’s becoming cluttered with houses there too. I say cluttered because they’re on top of each other and that scares me. A few years ago I lived in a neighborhood in Antioch. A house caught on fire and it jumped from house to house to house because they were so close together. The area I grew up in wasn’t like that but I’m sure it is now. I remember when you bought a house and you had a nice size front and backyard. Now you have this itty-bitty little yard and the realtors claim its huge. It’s only big enough to spit in. You can’t even put a pool in it. You can yell at your spouse and your next-door neighbor’s spouse will say what. I remember how my grandparents had these solid homes. Now you get a house and the walls are so paper thin that you can hear everything the person in the next room do. It’s crazy. I hate how they’re taking away all the green space. I missed how green it’s use to be with trees and grass. Now you see it less and less.

It’s the same if not higher here in Chattanooga, my advice would be to look into other states that you won’t be paying a arm and leg for.

The US is getting to be exactly like Brazil and Russia, an oppressive oligarchic dictatorship where it is government of the wealthy, for the wealthy, by the wealthy.

How is the neighborhood around that apartment complex?

@@r.pres.4121 it's a nightmare. The apartment complex next to it is filthy, dilapidated, and full of scumbags that get evicted all the time.

Well, who will pay for rent assistance and rent subsidy? It will be working Americans through increased taxes!

He will need to drastically cut back on fresh vegetables and fruits and shop for discounted week old food.

Not if those facilities are filled with uncaring and nasty employees.

Because its lies. Corporations buying up houses why? Probably because it gives them some kind of tax break.

@@gr8macaw1 I agree with you!

Happing every where

she needs to live with her kids she is 88 years old and in a three bedroom its insanity...the landlord needs to be reasonable

A room for $750? That's $25 per day, I hope it has its own bathroom.

That's less than an extended stay hotel, even without a private bath having a driveway, full kitchen, safe area for someone who is probably going to sleep 85% of the time while there is great. Not to mention her rate keeps the agency expense down (if she ops to partner with one) so these charges aren't passed on to the hospitals that pay these nurses 2-3x market rate to come there, which in turn comes from you and your insurers.

No bird...it's 4 unit, not really a house. She has her own unit. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Ooh these comments tho. Bad energy...I'm go ahead and exit.... this post. ✌🏽

She is 88 freaking years old. What part of that picture is being missed? Do you think she can function like someone on her 40"s WTH!!! That is the real problem in all of this no compassion or empathy for others. I tell you what try this for size, why don't the people who are on this forum telling her what she should do step up and in and show her exactly what to do and how to do it!!! How about that?

Older people lose their homes due to maintenance issues , health surprises and property taxes… do you really own a home? There is a lot of work that goes into one!

That depends where you live, real estate taxes can be very high in some parts of NY and NJ. Buying while young makes sense. I now only pay for the maintenance fee + utilities for my apartment. A small 1 bedroom apartment.

​@@rissaheads6091 In my opinion, yes you do own a home. So what you have to pay taxes...you have to pay that on everything. Again homeownership is key. If you get to a point when you are older that the maintenance is too much, you can sell your paid off house and all that cash to live off of. Or you can simply take in roomers for extra income. Trying to figure out how to pay $1500 rent at 70 years old is not the way to go.

@@sct4040 True but that is an extreme. Those are pretty much one of the few places in America where that applies. I would never live in such a place. Leave. Taxes down here in NC rarely exceed $2000 a year and that is actually expensive compared to some other states.

Herself could be receiving government rental assistance and they have rules where you can not let other family members live with you if you don’t have enough rooms.
