Even the prices of tents are increasing in California

It's sad people that lived in Sacramento their whole life can't even afford a house out here

In 1978 I got my first apartment for $215.00 a month

This is like London, it used to be affordable but rental prices are so high even in low income areas. Glad I left!

Houses going up , and jobs acting like they don’t want to give their employees raises lol I see why everybody leaving sac.

Then the people left California jack up rental price at another state...

No wonder homeless population increasing normal working people paying half they're pay for rent

I have 18 years in real estate and 7 years in property management here in central Sacramento. I have seen this ramp up over the last 3 years. I pulled my license 11/2018, tired of my 1st time local buyers being squeezed out by outsiders over bidding and pushing housing out of reach for the local average buyers. The past 2 years I've watch longtime tenants (usually elderly) forced out of rentals because new owners are refurbishing and raising prices 50% to 100% of previous rents. With the covid-19 pandemic, prices for most established complexes fell for a while. Now as evictions start increasing and folks go back to work, it will be interesting to see just how much rents adjust. We in California have a housing shortage... it is at the center of this ridiculous pricing surge. We need new legislation to ease permit costs and red tape so building is an easier, faster process and more affordable. We need more affordable housing. Period.

Its so unfortunate that so many people will be forced out but to go where? Most cities in all states are as high or higher. It's devastating for most!

I left Sacramento last year in mid October to Oregon and bought a house and I'm saving a dumb amount of money. Love cali, but its not worth living there and barely able to get by month to month with all the insane prices for houses, rent, cars, insurance, gas, and well anything else down there. For example, I now have 2 trucks and pay the same amount for insurance as I was paying for one truck in cali. My mortgage is half of what my rent was down there, which was 1300 and about to go up again to 1400 a month. So yeah, unless you're ballin and have hella money, I'd stay down there. If not, gtfo while you can

We can't blame people from the Bay Area. We need to blame the same people that ruined the real estate market before greedy investors.

This is such bullshit. I've lived here my entire life and there is zero reason for it to be this expensive.

2k a month for some roach infested apartments 🤦‍♂️

Sacramento ain't that great of a place to live anyway. 😏

Outrageous abuse of people when most are barely surviving 😡👎

its disgusting, taking advantage when all humanity is suffering.

House prices rise and rent goes up... House prices go down and rent STAYS THE SAME!!! Then house prices go back up and rent goes up without skipping a beat... Why can't we pass something so that rent will go down too..?

They forgot Hawaii lol! Look at the price of apartments near Waikiki beach. They r crazy expensive!!!

And you wonder why the homeless population keeps getting larger... THANKS Gavin Newsom!

You folks didn't vote for rental control 🤦‍♀️✋🥴

It’s definitely true. Bay Area peeps are flocking in Sacramento. It’s the only way they can downgrade. Yet they come here offering over the asking price to get what they want. It’s nothing to them because in the Bay they can’t get anything better with their offer but here they’ll get a decent home.

That is why I now live in Newcastle...

I've seen companies and people with fake names making offers you cant refuse. Even foreigners quarantined overseas surf the web and scoop up properties sight unseen. All you need are decent pictures to sell a property. Add material shortage. Labor shortage. Moratoriums. Low Rates. Remote work. A year of savings and stimulus. Supply is at an all time low and people are not buying toilet paper anymore.

Go to Los Angeles and you will be lucky if you can find an apartment to rent starting at $1,800 a month. That’s why many people have roommates to share the high cost of renting an apartment. Choose your roommates carefully.

If people would just buy a house and have a fixed payment I know that my house payment right now is $200 more than my two bedroom apartment in 2007 when I was 22 years old. And they are literally two stop signs away from each other.

Why is there not a price gouging laws for rentals??? This is just wrong

If you Bay Area/Sacramento renters think it will be cheaper in Reno/Sparks, forget it. Sky-high here also. Stay there.

Damn it’s higher than my mortgage

Make into law that if you are from a country or city priced higher than the one you are moving to, you'll have to pay 4 years at your cities rate before you can rent or buy at local price.

It's sad I want to move out of state because it's not affordable but it seems everywhere the prices are going up. They say they want to help decrease the homeless population yet even a roach infested 1 bed 1 bath 600sqft apartment is like $900-$1000 of rent a month in sac and small towns are even worse with their rent

More homeless for cali

Keep it up California & drive the rest of your tax payers out of state.

Who the hell wants to move to Sacramento that damn 👎

Long beach is the Same. They wanted 3500 dollars for a studio apartment that a month. And you still have to pay your utilities.

I can't believe landlords are getting the money they are for housing in this ghetto city, it's a rip off and it's time someone steps in and does something about it, Sacramento is falling apart, homeless everywhere, camped out of sidewalks, defecating and peeing all over and they want tenants to pay $1,800 Plus for rent that's just crazy.

I exited California on February 5th this year. Best decision I've ever made.After 30 years in Sactown the housing prices, crime, traffic, homeless,over populating,living check to check is not the way to live.Take your family out of state. Peace of mind

I live in Sacramento everything high. and I work in San Francisco. and people who leave there want to to buy house in Sacramento. because its cheaper. they don't realize they hurting people who leave in Sacramento

Exactly why I moved to woodland. not ghetto as hell and expensive

Well, when the governor makes it legal to stop paying rent, and landlords are still expected to maintain all financial obligations (property taxes and maintenance), this is what the natural reaction should be. Many were shamefully exploiting the threshold for deferring rent for a year. Landlords are now raising rates to flush out those who were complicit, and welcoming in those who can pay. AND SOMEHOW PEOPLE STILL HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT THE RECALL?!?

Sacramento is going downhill. Why would anyone want to buy a home there? Or rent?

Things are getting tough for the regular workers and the middle class. This has been a trend since the mid 70s. The Federal Reserve printing money like crazy and it causing housing inflation. The banksters are in control of the Fed and Congress and this is one of the causes of high housing prices.

I am extremely happy that I purchased my first home in 1999 and it is completely paid off and I now use it as a rental to pay part of the mortgage on the house that I now have. I had a friend of mine who called me the other day and said that they were wondering if they should sell their house because they could get $100,000 more for their home than they paid for it. I explain to my friend that $100,000 will buy you a nice car it’s not life-changing and he is a black guy who wants to have generational wealth so I told him hold onto your current home turn it into a rental buy another home it’s not that hard you can do it and I believe he will do it.$100,000 sounds like a lot of money but it’s really not these days I’m serious that new Ford F150 pick up truck is going to be upwards to $90,000 so 100,000 it’s not that much if you can buy property hold onto the property and eventually the property will help you in your retirement

This is disgusting it's the same in NY rent is the same as a mortgage it's Crazy..

Please call tenant protection program. They are city ran system that confirms that what landlords are doing within the city limits of Sacramento is legal. My landlord bought the property in December and tried to raise the rent in February 20% when the cap was 6%. When I forward them who to contact and all the websites my landlords try to make it seem like it was an income issue on my end which is when I got Tenant Protection Program involved. I forward them all the emails and they handled it from there. Come to find out for each unit my landlord was trying to raise rent that much would’ve caused him a $25,000 fine. They have six units.

And very low wages sounds like slavery

Silicon pockets are arriving!

Sacramento is not even that great! Ugh, I rather live up in the mountains.

Im glad to see fresh blood coming into the city. We’re on our way to becoming a sophisticated large world class City!

Landlord taking advantage to ask for more money. That is the key word. It is the landlord. This is not a good thing. Why human are just so greedy? What they think that the money comes from?? It is going to be like San Francisco. I don't understand...why isn't some politician people putting a stop to this. Have you seen Hong Kong? Do you think there are more rich people? These world is just becoming to greedy and human just doesn't care what is happening.

Fresno went up too

Putting the 'Sac' in Sacramento

That why I’m moving out of state

Sacramento is a TOILET. You couldn't PAY ME to live there...

Yup this will end well!

However, METH...is cheaper and more abundant than ever 🤣

You ask why? Because they can!

We should all leave so they have no one to pay rent or sales to make rent. This is ridiculous.

That’s not sticker shock, it’s price gouging. Don’t put an innocent name on it

That’s Capitalism ! Gotta love it lol

I think this report is a bunch of bull. It's a simple google search and you can see the NYC prices start at 2k/mo while in sac things start around 1400-1600/mo. They don't specify what report makes these claims. What kind of journalism is that. They could be making this up

that's a smart move at the end, leave the state, and relocate where you can afford rent. it's a shame many would rather become one of these bums walking around the streets.

No wonder homeless camps have quadrupled in a year.

Auctioning off property with 20-50+ people at a time. They'll take people with higher credit. Excuse me, but if I had 800+, I wouldn't be renting. Or tenants will offer 2-3 times more or offer twice as much what the rent is worth. Doesn't matter, I'm moving to Tennessee soon. F California. I can buy a 5 bedroom home for 300k bigger then a home here for 800k. California is the worst place to live in the country.

Why is California forcing low income individuals to become homeless or leave the state. My disability and income is being discriminated against me it seems like. Why should I leave the only state from where I am from only to follow the demands of the upper class community who work 3 times they're own income to meet rent requirements, and I can barely make one time my monthly income to afford $800 with a fixed income. How am I supposed to survive in Sacramento from trying to bounce back from being homeless 4 years and fighting to keep my place?

I refuse to pay that kind of money, so I moved! Now, I rent a HOUSE in the forest for $320/month everything including! I hear birds singing, deer come by every day to get their share of corn, foxes visit my cat and it is very safe here. Where is HERE? = Europe!

I've been looking around and it's gotten crazy. I've been relocated for work but am unwilling to pay those prices. Its just mlm money being thrown down the drain. I wish this housing market will go down because I have over 100,000 in savings ready to buy 2 houses. I'm 30. I gotta have a house at my age but I know the money I put down right now will go to waste if the market drops.

And nobody cares...That CALIFORNIA Governor is on the top of the list!!

BBConflicted MultiSyllabic Words

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN EVERYONE LEAVES CALIFORNIA. YES LEAVE THAT STATE BIG BUSINESS LEAVE TOO CAN'T AFFORD YOUR STATE...

they always blame bay area transplants

Rest in pece america

there are 200,000 people a month walking over the border. most of whom have families who are better about taking care of their own than you are, this will only get worse.

This is what happens when you don't have enough protections in place and let “the market” run out of control for something as essential to life as housing. Lifetime residents who don't want to or can't afford to move should not be forced out.

Section8 free zone

Well, if you’re in your 40’s, your working life is 2/3 over and you should already have your home paid off. Like me.

Corp globalism

Dump! MAGA!

Those socialist policies are working so well!

"Landlords are taking advantage " Lol ...you mean the landlords that have been unconstitutionally banned from collecting rent for over a year? The same people the government is shouldering with the burden of providing housing for free to it's citizens while they provide massive corporate stimulus? How is that "cancel rent" working for you guys? RECALL NEWSOM
