@YukkitheMighty1, the housing crisis has been ongoing and the current pandemic amplifies this.

Housing Courts are a racket.

The states may takeover all residential properties due to the severity of homelessness. Section 8 for everyone perhaps.

Fresh vegetables are the cheapest groceries you can buy.

Fresh vegetables are the cheapest groceries you can buy, and the cost of cheap food doesn't even compare to the cost of renting an apartment. If you need to share the rent with a roommate, then do it.

Yes please

Only if they get redistributed to working people rent-free. There are multiple open, empty, futureless apartments/homes for every homeless person. The power and resources to fix all our problems are there--they're just owned by all the wrong people.

You should see Brooklyn or Astoria ! They pit a new building in every hole !

Or older apartments get renovated and rent still as high as luxury apartments

@TheOerdin In 30 years they'll be torn down for new luxury apts. No one is funding subsidized housing.

Lol if that, the only way to get a raise that’s not laughable is to switch jobs.

@@ingsoc_8295 it's not as easy as you make it sound

they haven't really been rising. just a little sad info, I made more per hour in 1993 than most places here in Pennsylvania pay per hour. a lot of of us made more 25 yrs ago than we do today. I had a basic job as a cashier in a dept store int he mall making $10/hr full time, our managers made anywhere from $15-$18/hr. that was common back then in NJ and many other states. sadly today they're paying less and the younger ones aren't thinking twice about it because to them it's the way things are.....they never used to be like this, people made more yrs ago, most jobs were full time, no one went bankrupt by going to college, and we were able to move into our own apt right after high school. they're royally screwing everyone right now with this current economy, big time. plus wages went up on a regular basis every year or every other year back then, not anymore.

@@Anglynn74 that's true

You're exactly right, I respect that you work. Doesn't matter what your job is, better than no job. Wish you well. 😊

Fact

rent being expensive is justified because they house-owners liable for multiple responsibilities like taking care of the house so that it doesn't depreciate the value of the neighborhood or paying mortgages. Theres more responsibilities of owning a house that it's just more convenient to rent. In my opinion they need to focus more on education and American communities than throwing unnecessary funds at the military, American High schools just force students to go to trade schools that sometimes don't pay enough and just makes America as a whole slow down.

SunaArashi you have very valid points as society considers that a college degree isn’t a consistent method right now to get a stable job compared to finishing trade school. To add on it can also be dirt cheap compared to college. However, the cons of trade school is the limited job opportunities they are offered as they are taught one specific field in there job which kinda makes finding employment harder and backfired on you really quick. To wrap it up, Trade school shouldn’t be gold standard of success for people; rather we should make people more aware of their choices of deciding whether they want to go to trade school or college. If you know what I mean. Also trying not to be a shill for college education but rather just the basic survival ed. you need which brings awareness to everyone and hopefully improve the community as they will be somewhat wiser to solve its own issues,

Bills and high cost of living Is inhumane

SunaArashi thank you, I learned new things and definitely agree with K-12 education making people more prepared in where they want to go.

Me too! Exactly 4 years ago in Portland! Hope things are getting better for you. Things are shaky for me but Im getting by. Good luck

i have been there too with 2 kids and I also don't want to go back there again

Been there too.

Hope everything gets better for you all! I’m so sorry to hear you had to go through that.

As long as we have economic injustice - homelessness will remain a threat to every wage earning person.

thats why renting was never good. owning a house was a smart move.

Helen watch this video and you will know why kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZ95e5CJsLfUf30.html

That was way too much in the 70s

Move somewhere else then, the market went up.

They need to pause price hikes on the cost of living for a few years (5) and wait till people's salary increases.

God damn, the more interesting and insightful comments get little to no recognition. I'll add my own one. 10 years of living at an apartment and you own it. All prior contracts in favor of the old way of doing things are void. Property taxes are void. The CAFR shows the government doesn't need 'existence on the Earth tax' to take care of itself. The government shall be audited to show were the money the spend is being used on with all appropriate paper work every year. Damn I better chill. There are many good comments, but they don't super impress me. Yours did motivate me about that 'rip-off' part. The government and corporations made up rules for themselves without negotiation from the public (public hearings don't count because that's duly noted and duly ignored). The same should be done to them without negotiation and by popular vote from those not in the position of power or great influence. If those a-holes in power don't like it then to bad for them. They don't care when you're made homeless. And neither should a tear be shed for them when they lose power. Also they shall not be allowed to raise rent with this new system beyond normal inflation adjusted levels (that hole inflation thing is a bank scam too) nor shall they make paper work more complicated because then the normal rental process application. There's a ton of nuance I need to add, schemers always have something to make things more complicated, and squirm out of there responsibility. Some profit margin needs to be added into the picture otherwise they'll stop building apartments. Requirements need to be added, to make sure they don't build sub-standard cheap ghetto like complexes. That's enough for now to much writing. Brains don't read when there's to much writing.

It’s frowned upon in the United States to not live on your own.

@@AEvans36963 I have a friend who is a property manager at an apartment complex and what she was telling me the other day was that one of the reasons that they have to charge them much is because they have to plan on at any given time about 10% of the units will not pay the rent. Where we live it takes months to get somebody out. They have to be at least two months behind before the landlord or property manager can file with the courts it takes usually 30 days to get a hearing and then the person is given a 30-day notice. So for someone who gets evicted they go minimum 4 months without paying rent. And those are often the people who leave the property with significant damage that takes both time and money to repair . My husband and I rented three different places over seven years. The lowest we paid and rent was $680 the highest we paid was $1,300 a month. In 7 years we were not one time late on our rent. We now own a house but when we rented it was always very annoying to us because every year we got a significant increase on our rent despite the fact we were never late meanwhile there were constantly people being evicted for not paying their rent and we knew we were the ones paying for that

You keenly are aware of out-- it's greed.

Exactly

That's true

All that will do is leave them with an eviction on their record and it will be hard to find another apartment complex who will rent to them. You can probably find another place that will not do a background check, but you still owe.

Not only that...just because you don't pay your rent, doesn't mean you don't owe it. Eviction or not, you still owe what you failed to pay. If you have the ability to pay, you should pay.

No way in hell a landlord in most of America would go through all that. Few of these tenants have assets to go after. Garnishing is possible but still unlikely

The outward enslaves the mind that is not awakened to the fact that your happiness comes from within you. It is not dependent upon outside factors. Be proactive. Delay gratification. The Universal Intelligence, Source, will assist only when you are internally aligned with it, through synchronicities.

But how many people actually get paid that. Most don't get paid minimum wage though. I don't know anyone that does. The least make a little over $12/ per hour but still that's more than minimum wage.

@Dewey Watts, at least the Chinese workers can head back to the farms. Where can we head back to?

@@lzkrishmom Personally, I believe our Creator is soon to intervene, as he has before in such desperate times. If that doesn't set well with some, practical wisdom is also useful, when it comes to work. Pick a skill you can offer to the wealthy. You don't get rich working for them, but they are always seeking honest people to work at their homes. They just want people who can be trusted. Word of mouth has kept me fed for 35 years.

The entire world seems to be in dire straits.

@@lzkrishmom Yes. Chinese can go back to farm and be happier than living in the city. You can grow food and raise animals. No bills trying to haunt you down each month, and you can do things your own time.

@@business-ty9iy In the USA, going back to the farms is not really possible. First, a lot of our farmers sold their land to developers to build houses. Developers aggressively encroached into farm lands. The acres of family farmland is dwindling. Farming is more industrialized. To survive, independent farmers gotten themselves into massive debt that resulted in the lost of their home and farm land (sometimes, these farms have been in the family for generations). Additionally, our house and land don't truly belong to the citizens of this country. Even if we don't have mortgages, if we failed to pay property tax, the government can take our homes or land away from us. Not to mention, where will you get health insurance if you move back to the farms? I guess our only solution is like what @Dewey Watts said, "Go work for the rich. The rich always need someone to clean their toilets, cook their food, or look after their children. As long as you're honest and be obedien, they will throw you a few pieces of bread and keep you fed." Welcome to the land of opportunities ;-).

@Mawmaw Sue Hell!! How is the landlord supposed to pay the bank mortgages????? Many property owners are still paying mortgages they don't own them free and clear!! That takes 15-30 yrs!!!

@Mawmaw Sue But when you evict an otherwise good tenant, who's going to pay the rent? You will just have a vacant space...

@Mawmaw Sue YOU NAILED IT!

@@kendrickjg you find someone who can, it's a very competitive market still & there are tons of people intrested.

@@zaptowee6625 Where I live the 3 houses next to me have been vacant for 6 months, 2 years and the third for much longer. Many other homes around the neighborhood are vacant too. People cant afford the rents and now have no jobs to pay the rent. House flippers came in about a year and a half ago and updated many of the homes. A few sold but the rest are sitting empty. One of the homes they were working just recently looks like they couldn't afford to finish siding it. The for sale sign has been up for about 6 weeks. Still no siding, still no buyer and appears the owners don't want to rent it out.

Exactly.

Yes, but far less.

Then they’ll have to get a job like the rest of society

only if the homeowners cant make enough to pay it

@@willytompkins8115 but then again its up to the homeowner to do what he wants with his house

People rent out of necessity, landlords lease as property investment

Luckily Chinese investors will by the foreclosed houses helping the banks and own even more of the US. I believe Trump or Biden should limit property purchase to US citizens only for the next 3 years. This could correct housing prices, but they won't because of 💰

Only stupid people think that. People not actually thinking for themselves.

Truth. The amount of people I’ve seen buying cars over these past few months is insane! I really hope they budgeted wisely.

I know it's state sanctioned domestic terrorism, extortion, grand larceny, and racketeering all rolled up in one, landlords (parasites) robbing people blind getting free property on the tenant/investors dime.

I have 4 kids and the housing authority is trying to evict us.

@@ladydragon7777 It hurts my heart to hear this. I have struggled for months trying to get my kids to a more permanent spot. Things are still rough in my state but I've managed to get us in an apartment. We lived on the streets for months. They say there is all this help out here but it isn't true. I will keep you in my prayers. Just take one day at a time. It is NOT right to evict anyone during a pandemic. I can tell you that through all this I've grown stronger and you will too. Keep your head up for those babies. ❤️

My renters pay less than the mortgage! I can’t go any lower.

I'm just curious... How do I pay my mortgage, maintenance, taxes, insurance... And much more? I'm a property manager.

@@kayleeveal5260 Start buying cheap supplies that is not expensive or go to yard sales that sell things cheap. It will save you a whole lot of money. The more you help yourself save money, the more you will help those that have kids keep a roof over their heads and a place to stay.

small coffee maybe they should get a second job if they can’t afford to rent the house, or rent a cheaper place! If I can’t afford my house I will move.

dajokn19 I actually haven’t “made money” off the house. (See my comment above) there is a whole range of options for various income levels, section 8, etc. I do agree housing prices are out of control. I have kept the rent the same for 12 years because I appreciate my renters always paying on time. Nothing I have done is illegal, immoral, or unfair.

Where have you been?? We're almost a DEFLATION now!! Interest rates have been at nearly zero for some time. Something else is going on.

No its been immigration and foreign investors.

Pay rent first then die of starvation and thirst because the greedy water and electric company shut you off.

Rent is legalized state sanctioned theft

bye, move to canada...

@@t0pgun2005 typical response from defenders of capitalism and interests. BTW im Canadian and we have better (free) health care and longer life. The average Canadian lives 4 years longer than an American.

@@mikeyounes2756 sure.... that's why so many canadians w money come to the USA for their medical treatment instead of waiting endlessly to get treated in canada. i'm sure you don't have money so you wouldn't know...

No. It is because the majority of asians don't suffer with poverty so there is nothing to really say.

@Tygerwolf: www.epi.org/publication/ib323-asian-american-unemployment/ This is a terrific article explaining Asian American unemployment. If you look at figure B, Asian Americans with bachelor degree is 2% more likely to be unemployed compare to European Americans. The stereotype that Asians Americans don't suffer from poverty is completely false. All Americans can suffer from poverty due unexpected consequences. Asian Americans have strong family support. If one family member falls down, others usually help them get back up.

@@lzkrishmom WTF? Your response has nothing to do with what Tygerwolf said.

@@lzkrishmom 25% of blacks live below the federal income poverty line, 25% of hispanics live below the federal income poverty line, 7% of whites live below the federal income poverty line. I assume Asians do slightly better. American Indians are closer to 30%.

@@NUCLEARARMAMENT Thank you for the information. According to www.statista.com/statistics/205121/percentage-of-poor-asian-families--in-the-us/, 7.6% of Asian Americans live below the poverty line. My reply to Tygerwolf was more of a response to others suggesting Asians as "the Elite group" or "Asians are usually not poor." The unemployment article that I posted explains that Asian American's low poverty level is due to education. There is a larger percentage of Asian Americans with advanced degree compare to its peers. However, those with only a bachelor degree has a higher unemployment rate compare to European Americans. In the same article, you will also be surprised that Asian Americans suffer longer unemployment compare to African, European, and Hispanic Americans. Yes. Asian Americans do better than African and Hispanic Americans in terms of staying above poverty line. However, have you consider why? My argument is that Asian Americans have stronger family support. Therefore, the impact of loosing a job is not as devastating. The rent delinquency rate graph on this video that Tyerwolf pointed out just shows Asian Americans are great tenants. It does not show that Asian Americans as the "Elite" group with more money.

Who's going to pay for them? The government is already facing tax shortfalls since they put so many people out of work.

It's funny how some people who get handouts are always asking for more. You want them to pay for your groceries too? How about a $500 a month stipend for a new car?

The bill won't pass anyways

Underdog TV yeah because both parties are a joke and can’t work together

ac What was your down payment amount?

@@adbc1f72 I put 2k down got it for 52k

Patricia Burch I reccomend you watch “graham stephan” on youtube

Well done you are doing the right thing. Debt is a bad thing

Rubbing down & out people's face in your good luck, so you can give yourself a pat on the back, desperate!

either you're a liar or an idiot because they legally aren't allowed to do that in the situation you're describing. though it's not the landlord's job to take care of you. you wouldn't expect the store to just give you goods if you told them 'i'll pay you next week' but evictions take months generally.

Don't go trying to drop logic around here

How would you know that the usage of the term is incorrect, what if they actually mean what they say; you would need to have all the numbers to know if they're right or wrong.

It just shows that more than half of American is having a tough time.

still in that sense they are far more honest and accurate than anything you hear from govt or the MSM.

Jimmy McMillan. 👍

Exactly!

Move to Bakersfield. San Fran and LA is very overpriced.

Pay your rent, you can always get food from somewhere, but you can’t always find a place to live.

@heringe I did pay the rent Thank God, but each week it's a new worry. Know school starts soon my son 2 day's a week. However, not until 24, and I'm a bus driver I start 14. He is a special needs child ADHD. He learns a different way. He needs child care plus internet learning, and I have to work in order to pay bills etc. Trust me I have done all the foot work asked the school for help, child care from DSS, I make too much they include taxes🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I'm telling you, today with covid-19 and the system it's set up for you to dig deep really deep. It's scarey especially when thete are not a lot of options that u have. I hope I explained myself fairly.

Damn. I hope u don't get evicted.

@@laurengeorge4251 Thank God got my rent paid!!

Cause it costs too much.

cus govt represents insurance companies.. who's hook is "health care" but goal is to fleece you. it's a scam. if you get any health care it's an oversight or incidental to that fleecing.

Because things cost money-and people have to be productive to generate that money. When the government shuts everything down for "health reasons" you have to ask yourself what is the cost-benefit for stopping economic activity over a virus with such a low mortality rate.

Sorry doesn't fix the damage, working out doesn't pay the bills. Smiles aren't tips.

... but all of this will be an opportunity for others that are not in that situation. Like me. I'm waiting to pick up some new properties =]

@@2bRealist fair enough, it's your god given right to seek profit at the expanse of someone else's suffering, especially if their suffering is of their own volition.

@@alexmikhylov That is one way to see it, but I see it under a different light. I'm bringing in opportunities not just for myself, but others. With out people purchasing these distressed properties, there will be no more renting or buying options for others, and there would be no progress forward from this mess. I'm turning a bad and ugly satiation, into something positive.... otherwise, all you have is an empty homes and broken dreams.

They overlevaged and now crying

I rent my 1st level of my three story house. Great neighborhood for $725.00 month includes utilities. But l claim the income on my tax returns. 5 years renting so renter pays 80% of my mortgage!

Not true. It's illegal to shoot homeless people.

Homeless animals can be caring, cute, and loyal... can't say the same for homeless people in general.

Survival of the cutest

@Undisputed Blackjack that's a stereotype

That's because homeless animals don't leave piles of garbage everywhere they go and then smoke a bunch of meth before they break into your backyard or garage and steal your bikes and yard furniture.

Congratulations on your debt free lifestyle!

We are about to move to those places we used to despise and about to walk bear foot because gas is gonna be extremely up ..and food scarse ...things are getting so bad ...this makes me prepare myself for the worst ...i live in LA but its dmmmmmm expensive and I really pity pple who still spend money aimlessly buying cars to show off with all this going on .

And it only cost them 30 to 50 thousand to build the fkn thing.

nothing wrong with having a roommate, it's smart. but so is living somewhere that's not dummy expensive.

Crazy ain't it we got to pay to live

pay rent, medical bills, water and food.

Well if thats the case everyone else can live outside
