And i am SO HAPPY they raised minimum wage only to double my rent, make me pay health insurance, charge me a gas tax, and then raise the cost of foods. Its crazy how much rent went up

ya this 30% is crap.. most everyone I know spend more than 1/2 their income on rent.

Don't give up your car lady its gonna be your next apartment! 😭😨

I live in Texas, bought a condo back in the 80's in an excellent neighborhood surrounded by expensive beautiful homes. Paid the 30 year loan early. I receive calls & letters from investors wanting to buy my condo, even offering to pay cash for it. However, I'm in my 60's now, & don't make the big buck like I did when I was younger. I'm actually making a poverty salary right now, so starting over to pay someone else rent is out of the question??😧. When you don't have rent or a mortgage your other bills are easier to manage without the unnecessary stress.

Down with the system. Create a new one. How greedy a nation, profiting off maybe the second most basic necessity of life!? I just read a comment, someone said if you keep having kids, what do you expect? He is right. I have one. Dont want any more. But look at the size of these houses they keep building. Give a f****** box to live in and leave me alone. I seriously hate where this world is heading to.

A couple of temporary solutions are: - RV Living - Mobile-Trailer homes - Tent homes attached to your vehicle

This is one reason why I'll never move to California

Yeah, right. Realtors always say that about rent control. Well look. We have a MAJOR problem. The only way I could get out of it was to buy. And I could only afford to buy a place one step above an apartment. It's not right for so many renters to be completely screwed.

I was thrown over here to Phoenix after the Northridge quake. Am now on disability and the yuppies have raised the rent this year. So I am having to choose between health or survival and try an sale most of my belongings. Since the actor became President, homeliness has increased 60 percent. It is wrong. 90 percent of my disability check goes to the rent. Don't know how those yuppies can sleep at night

The rent is ridiculous and it keeps rising here in Sacramento!!!!

Landlords are the greediest people alive.

People are spending more than 30% of their income on rent? I live in Sacramento and spend almost 60%.

Greed is destroying this country. When the landlord runs out of renters...they'll suffer too...and the sooner the better!

Look at him using that drone. Lmfao like a kid with his new toy!

We saw the rents spiking in California in 92, and my family and I hit the road. We wound up in Arizona.

I pay 1600 for 700 sq feet. that's the cheapest in my area... Think its time to move to Texas!

Devil possess the landlords to be greedy and people suffer because of it. Turn to jesus Chris!

I am homeless because of the rent went so high.

Wow these times you can live alone no more we have to share a home

Why.. so MUCH why...

Where is everyone super to live until it "levels"out? I make ok money and I can't even find a 1br I can afford.., not everyone who can't afford the rents gets housing, even if you qualified, it's a 8-10yrs wait list, so where is everyone suppose to live?

More people need to sell their house or leave their apartment and move into a van or R.V just to make life easier, if we all live in vehicles we can take our freedom back!... the only way rent can keep going up is if we keep paying for it

Interesting they have 1400 empty apartments in Portland Maine but the prices are so high nobody lives in them ?

2:45 Ok, we have fallen behind on housing production, but WHY? Look at countries where they don't have that problem and look at the laws and type of housing they have there. Look at Tokyo in Japan for example. Look how efficient they are with small apartments and how easy it is to build their if you own the land. They have a lot more freedom to build on land.

Even if you have a house, you never own it !!! Don't believe me ?????? Don't have money to pay your taxes on it! POOF , you are gone ! I have seen people , especially the elderly lose their homes although the house they been living in for decade's couldn't pay the taxes ! So sad !!!!! 😢😔 It is a very sad and greedy world we live in now days !! And it's only going to get worse !! I pray for everyone who is going through tough housing trials!

you never want to listen to a man who doesnt live in Sacramento he is a man who builds houses for money but yet doesn't stay here his self

I live in Texas where rent is supposed to be cheap, and rent takes a little over 50% of my income and I live in a efficiency apartment!

i think another issue was the mortgage crisis resulting in a ton of owners entering the rental market after losing their homes. the higher demand shot prices up

At 1:55 why "temporary relief"? Lol. We need a permanent solution

there's a lot of new investors they are raising our rent's crazy I can't afford I'm going to have to be homeless

Ay... I'm going homeless. Not even joking.

30% of my income? I'm retired, and I spend 2/3 of my monthly income on rent! Seniors should have a different price scale, and protected-class status.

Landlords will get as much as they possible can until the government steps in put its foot down. I'm not against landlords making a profit but gouging just because they can is unacceptable.

Brooklyn in NYC is the same. Average rent for a 1 bedroom apt. is close to $3,000 a month. It's insanity.

I wish I can get out of California I hate it so much and this is why

I will have to move to a cheaper country, and I am paying 80% of my retirement income, and wth the 20%, I pay utilities, rental insurance, food, small savings, and help to non beggars. I am 76, and I will teach conversational English online, as my rent and utilities increase. I pay AT&T for wifi and basic land line only.

Move out of California. I am going to Texas or Oklahoma.

It isn't any better north of Sacramento. The house we were renting went into foreclosure and sold at public auction.The new owner just wanted to "flip" the house for profit. I lost track of the number of applications we submitted (with non-refundable fees) just to be told that there were at least 20 before us. We got the keys to our current home 24 hrs before we would have been evicted from the other place. There just aren't enough affordable rentals for people that are in that twilight zone between earning too much to qualify for any kind of assistance, but just enough to survive. Add to that the fact that my mother and sister are both disabled, and it makes finding reasonable accomodations next to impossible.

Say NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED NO MORE GREED.. whos with me.. man.. 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

It makes no sense! If there a low supply it shouldn't hike prices up. You'd think Renters would be more interested in keeping the customers they have.

This happening everywhere red and blue states it’s called greed run wild 😜

I think it's actually amazing how many people just didn't see this becoming a reality.... If over the course of a 50 year period, people continue to have kids , all over the world, and people continue moving to larger cities, what did people THINK would happen. Most people end up having 2+ kids, in some cases I've seen women have 5 or more. When these people get older they also need places to live. If you want to cut down all forests and wild life to build more, sure, that's possible, but then you end up with a gray dead city. I'm not sure how so many people can be shocked that demand has gone up in major cities as the worlds population continues to rise. Just a bit of foresight, this will only continue and prices will continue to go up because people will keep having kids and land will become scarce, just in case you were unaware.

What about property tax control, home insurance control. Plumber repair control,. Water sewer and garbage fee control. Those expenses go up every year for landlords

This is why I want a moratorium on ALL immigration. Our country is getting too crowded. These mega cities are continually expanding and there is not enough time to plan.

There's a novel idea to end homelessness, just raise rents, it's just fucking genius!!

Just my opinion people should move out of state where it is cheaper to live I am from California I had to move out of state because the rent was so high for me

Supply and demand, lol. There's like 1/4 of all homes empty owned by foreign investors.

Investors from other countries are purchasing properties to rent to citizens. Speculative investers are purchasing properties to rent. Real estate professionals are snapping up the better priced units before the public can view the listing- too either capitalize on the investment, or rent out. Home ownership is castrated by laws propagating for the industry number of homes sold, while not evaluating for first time owner.

I live in NJ same thing 1675.00 for a500Sq ft.. On the other hand my landlord told me his property taxes went up by 40000.00 on a 50 unit complex. His water bill went up by 1500.00. And had to pay 126000 for a new heating system..I inderstood paid and realized its still lower than if I moved around here..

we don't even have enough jobs here to have more people to move in aka they don't spend money in Sacramento they spend it in the bay area

what rent control will do is incentivize property owners to seek what's better than renting properties. so you'll see a lot fewer properties being offered for rent, and more properties being used as airbnb homes for travelers to rent short-term.

Greed the deadly sin.

Every time I see videos that are years old I say "Just you wait"

It is sad we are trying to buy a home since rent is so high and yet homes are going for $500,000 wtf is going on and yet they wonder why we have so many homeless ...... We middle class are getting fucked ( pardon my language) it's insane making $52,000 a year payed $17,000 in taxes and that's with a dependent just because I get a bonus at work the govt takes 50% this is bullshit when you make to much your screwed and it's not low enough to get discounts on health insurance where stuck in the middle

If there is no capital available to get a lone to build high density apartments or buy land to do so and regulations make buying and building very difficult then the cost of land and/or housing rent is going to be artificially inflated many fold. Also, if tax insentives are established to encourage people to speculate on housing purchases rather than view housing as a cost then buyers of houses will desire housing costs to go up instead of down. All of these things occur in the USA so it should not be surprising that housing costs are much higher than they should be. Also, many people have an irrational aversion to living in small apartments so they are not built. 21 to 30 square meters is all a person needs and this is what a single person uses in Countries like Japan or Korea or even less. A person in Tokyo can also rent a nicer whole house for less than a studio efficiency in the USA. Search for the KZfaq video "What a $1600 House Looks Like in Tokyo!" for example. Japanese does not have the level of regulations when it comes to building so it is much easier. Financing laws may also be different. Putting regulations on the economy as controlled by the state is called Fascism in contrast to outright ownership of the property by the state which is called socialism/communism. Fascism drives up costs, but is very popular even by the very people who complain about the results. The population is not rational or rights respecting and thus suffers at their own hands.

California has 40 million people. The state can't accomodate that many so there is too much demand and not enough supply.

I was wondering, how are people in California with a fixed rate mortgage before all this happened are doing?

If you live in the US you can buy a bullet and a handgun, unfortunately in Canada, deliverance from crushing poverty is not that easy.

Dont forget inflation people!!

Welcome to the New World Order sending people to the RV life,not that the RV life is bad.

Get what ya vote for

If they're doing the renters this way, what are they doing with homeowners' taxes ?

Why do rent prices go up so much all at once?

LANDLORDS = GREED!

if people are not able to afford to pay rent, ,,then how do landlords make their money, , ,why haven't landlords complained how it's impacting them , ,you would think they would lower rent so they can have renters ,,somethings not right 😒

getting sick rent to high to much....

War

Thank you ms. Pelosi , your doing a great job for your state

I moved to Oregon way cheap there

Really need good Rent Control in Sacramento County.

Take the leverage out of real estate. Debt blows up mortgages and rents.

I just said. Landlord's are rent gouging. There causing homelessness. Need bills passed. Fines for slum lords.

stop them now please.

I'm 50, I got sick of working 3 jobs and 100 hr work weeks in Victoria, BC just to barely pay the extortionate rent and survive.Moved to the country-no jobs, so ultimately I moved to China.Not suicidal about the rent anymore-it's included in my contract.N. America has 3 world incomes and 1st world rents-the worst of both worlds.

It is nothing but pure Capitalism.

Now everyone is leaving due to the virus so the homeowners that laughed then are crying now😂😂😂

I see stories of rent being to high, buying a home is out of reach for most people, jobs not paying enough and the list goes on and on, the one thing i have noticed in all these stories no matter which state red or blue, the one thing these stories have in common is this. Urban and suburban sprawl, and the fact that cities are giving huge tax breaks to companies just to relocate or build in their cities, then after a few years the business shuts down leaving unused land, and buildings leaving community blight. So here is my solution and some one please correct me if i am wrong. If a city can take land or a home from its residents under the guise of eminent domain, and give it to a corporation, then why cant the city take urban blighted land from the owner of the land and give it to some one who wants to build more affordable and community friendly homes for purchase and for renters. They have already given the company a tax break, taking money from the community so wouldn't it make sense if the city recouped the tax money from those who want to buy or rent in a particular area?

Stop having babies!

If you cannot afford where you live, then go elsewhere.... Basic common sense. 😆

I say it again rent is coming after your car payment and your savings account and your 401k your food money your vacation money so they can keep you renting for life

Get a new r.v.

Well Ben Carson is ready to up section eight rents 7 u pay fifty it will go hundred fifty so as ll free loaders who been section eight long time gravy train is running out so now it's time to see what real rent is

Greed

they can't double the rent that is illegal I thot by law they have to make it to were you you might be able to pay the rent before trying to change tenants

I remember back in 1971 an organization called "ZPG" Zero Population Growth came to my college (B.U.) to give a talk and I think only 5 people showed up from the entire campus! Basically, everything they said & warned about, almost 50 years ago now has come true. Also, (and I'm absolutely NOT a GOPer, never will be) but our country simply cannot take on 20 million illegals. Perhaps it's more. Our physical and economic INFRASTRUCTURE simply cannot handle it all. If the population grows but you can't grow more land to accomodate that growth, what you're left with is the US's job & cultural centers become unaffordable to middle income wage earners. My net worth is seven figures but in Manhattan where I hope to retire, I'm not even sure that would allow me to rent a studio! Yes, you can find more afordable housing if you're willing to go further away from your job, or where most of the high paying jobs are located, but the trade off then becomes insane amounts of commuting time. Do you really want to spend 60-90 mins commuting 1 way daily? 2 hours a day simply to get to your job? Do you really want to spend several of the best years of your life waking up before sunrise and returning home after dark completely exhausted? That's what it's increasingly become. Not only that, but in my bedroom community of Westchester County, NY - there's absolutely not a single thing to do on weekends, unless you want to commute back into NYC again. The joke here has always been that they roll up the sidewalks after 5pm. It might as well be true. Yes, the 'burbs are great IF you want (and can afford) a private home with a porch, front and back yard to raise a family & have your kids attend the best private schools, but just know that for anyone who doesn't have kids, these vacuous suburbs are the inspiration for "The Stepford Wives" way of life. Do you really want to spend every single afternoon chauffering your kids from one after school play date to another? Yech! It's all really simple economics. Nothing terribly difficult. Yes, there's lots of places to live where the rent is cheap in the USA. In Wyoming you can rent a palace for what a closet will cost you in Manhattan or Frisco. But you better be ready to spend all your free time in front of the boob Tube because there are (no joke) more Cattle Than People in Wyoming! An old friend's father moved his family out to Backwater, Indiana several years back & it was so dead & desolate, they ended up moving back to just outside Boston. Mind friend said that there are parts of the mid-west where he could drive for 1 hour and not see another car. And if you didn't like Nascar racing, you were totally out of luck! Put a male & female rat in a cage & a few months later, you now have 6 rats. A year later that could double or triple. Eventually they will start attacking and then killing each other, and eventually, it'll go back down to just one or two rats. That's what's happened to places like once thriving Detroit. It's killing LA & more Angelenos are now moving to Texas. In my own County, several years ago there was a fire in a private home. By the time the fire dept & police arrived, they determined that the home, which was leased to 1 couple, & zoned for a single family, had illegally housed 17 illegals! (most of whom split permanantly before authorities arrived). The landlord knew what the situation was, but all the illegals pooled their wages and were about to pay a higher than listed price for the rent. That's just one of many cases in my home town, which has now become a sanctuary city. The "starter" apts in my town which used to house new college grads, have all now become over-priced co-ops & condos, permanantly out of reach for all but perhaps the top 10% of wage earners out of college, or couples who're retirement age & have saved up enough. So what's the answer? We really need MORE, NOT LESS goverment intervention to prevent landlords fro rent gouging. I spent a decade watching corrupt landlords and politicians, as well as the local news media, all collude to keep increasing yearly rents with no caps, no watchdogs, essentially, no conscience or concern for others, just their own pocket books (btw, all the while pleasing poverty!). Concluding, the ONLY way we're ever going to knock all our societal problems - Healthcare, Housing, Education, Transportation, Infrastructure & on & on down to size, is to knock our insane population growth down to size. We absolutely HAVE to limit immigration to a Meritocracy. We allow in only those Skilled people who speak English & whom will be an asset to our country. I.e, Doctors, Englineers, Scientists, etc. We don't need any more gardners and construction workers and taxi drivers. Sorry if I sound like a Republican, but hey, even a broken clock is right at least twice in 24 hours. Illegal Mexicans need to correct their own problems & they have to stop have large familes they can't support. Perhaps the time is long overdue to order incentives for couples of child bearing age NOT to have more than 1 child, 2 max. You only have to do the Math to see that anything else is simply a recipe for long term disaster. Control our population growth (Hear that Mr. Pope & Catholic Church!?) or it will control us, and disaster will be the consequence of our lack of forward and long term thinking. But those are SOME of the reasons the Rent IS Too High.

Build more houses! No, that will not fix it! They will raise that too!Greed! Brown cotinues to support his sanctuary cities!Some of that money should have been used to build affordable housing for ALL the citizens of the state. Not everyone can afford to live in a house either.If there were no sanctuary cities ,crime would go down. A lot more is involved ib this problem. It atarts at the top!

Move to a cheaper country, if retired,or if you can work online. 80% of my income, so hello SE Asia.

You got what you voted for

People being born too fast, the olders don't die fast enough.

Vote no on rent increase

Vote "Maxine Waters" to stay in Congress!!! Your community statistics reflect All the Great things she does for you..LIKE SHE SAID "STOP COMPLAINING" or I will raise your taxes again.. We need to support our gang members and homeless.. YOU SHOULD OPEN YOUR HOMES TO THE LESS FORTUNATE,IF YOU HAVE 3 BEDROOMS; YOU HAVE TO MUCH,GIVE A ROOM TO A GANG MEMBER OR HOMELESS, OR ELSE WE WILL TAX YOU EVEN MORE...

Its not just California New Jersey ; New York also .These. Landlords are getting away with murder.Too much greed & corruption abound.

Realtors are to blame. They need to have a degrees with ethics laws. They should not be able to sell homes to investors instead of homebuyers and should not be able to set rents or home values.

What they could do while they're sitting there with their $10 Starbucks and their air conditioning utility bill blasting on high and their online shopping packages is make rent a priority and appreciate having a place to store all the crap they buy

People should be able to rent for what ever they want.. they own the property

This is the result of 40 years of Reagonomics...

Did none of you think ahead?

Easy move somewhere else and maybe try to buy a house that you can afford then you won't have to worry about raising rents

I tell you ALL what you can do: Write, call, and show up in person in absolute anger and frustration to your "thieving" legislature, the senators, and to both state and federal representatives. Talk and talk and talk to your neighbors, friends, colleagues, and residents where you live; form community forums online/offline and "get signatures" and create representations to the law making bodies in the city, country, and state. We are losing the country,people, to snowflakes, and to those who don't know anything about anything, have not been in wars in person, have not experienced pain (I am talking about those whose worst problem is to be "unliked" in social media and who order the kind of coffees that will take a minute to finish saying it), who think they can do ANYTHING they want in my country without any ramifications, those who break the law and those who promote breaking the law (the so-called DemoKKKRats and their communist allies). While you are doing all that, educate yourself about how the laws work, and work with those who ARE ALREADY knowledgeable about how the law works. Get educated about finance and gather around "government related" financial experts who will help you through the maze of how the budgeting and expenditures work and how to come up with Financial Policies that will prosper YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FIRST, your country first, and don't worry about the rest of the world. Kick out ALL CURRENT LEGISLATIVE REPS fast, and I mean very very fast and replace them (BY VOTING!) with those who value human life,clean communities, safety and security of law abiding, and tax paying citizens, the love of country, FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENTS, decency and fairness for all, higher wages, lower taxes, promotion of small business development that will generate tax income for local communities and overall nationwide,etc. There is a lot more to share, and I don't get paid for this and my future recommendations. Just wanted to very briefly answer the question in this video's description. If there are enough viewers who are interested in really doing something to better their lives, I am available to work with them and it will be FREE.
