Atleast our government is focused on the important things like giving Ukraine 100B to fight their war and investigating why eggs are so expensive. Keep giving your minimum wage taxes you don’t really need it.
Or how many rooms are you gonna rent out just to pay the damn rent! Then they want to raise the rent by a $100 bucks or more. Nobody gets that type of raises at work. How?
Some people try to say that if you work hard, you can make it, but it's not true. You can work hard to the bone and still not have enough because of greed. Price gouging against hard-working people is why prices are so high and our legislators are doing nothing about it, especially Republicans who hate the poor.
It was never like this 20-25 years ago. In the old days, people could at least afford a studio apartment.

My landlords are nice people, but this rent and inflation stuff is getting out of hand.
Austin is unaffordable because of Tesla moving there... Many Tesla employees from California brought their high salaries with them and now Austin wants part of it ...
@@KOVIDGOON exactly... Austin, Los Angeles, Boston.... what do they have in common besides high prices? They're Democrat controlled cities. The professional nailed it for the most part... "Fresno and the central valley"... being one of the last places to receive anything near descent value for wages/living expenses... those would be where conservatives in California predominantly live.

So I just did the maths: If you want to buy a 1.25 million dollars house with the current interest rate, on a 30 years loan term, you have to earn...350 000 dollars a year, and that's by putting doan a 100 000 dollars down payment xD. Thing is, such a price would get you a super big and beautiful house in a place like Albuquerque, but in SF or Los Angeles, that's good for a really standard home of 100 sqft. That's how bad it currently is.
Owner occupants should be the only ones allowed to bid on and purchase Single family homes and condos that come up on the market. Cut the landlords and corporate investors out of this market and things will eventually improve.
A person should be limited to how many lands and homes/apartments they can own to 10 maximum. It needs to be a national law. Sooner or later the dream of owning a home will be dead.
Homes are about 500k to 2 million in my area. Most jobs don't pay enough to cover the mortgage for those kinds of houses. The situation gets worse every year.

The problem with raising the minimum wage, is that the average income would go up. While this sounds like a good thing, it is inevitable that with higher average wages, the cost of rent would go up again to match it. There should be a cap on what rent can cost based on the value of the building itself. That way, if a landlord wants to raise rent, they have to raise the value of the building itself. That is just my opinion, though. I am curious about others' thoughts. (To be clear, i know many places have rent control laws, but they can be ineffective at times, and many are based on the average salary of the area.)
The problem about raising the minimum wage is that the moment minimum wage goes up everything else doubles $$$ rent, basic necessities. Here's an idea why not politicians create programs for adults working minimum wage jobs filled jobs that require higher skills. Getting off the cycle of living pay check-to-pay check.
Why don’t we count all this expends from rent on tax credits. Or cover california must add the rent on their discounts. Otherwise, hospital doctors are charging what ever they wanted .

This is the main reason why there are so many homeless people.
Real estate speculation needs to be criminalized to end this problem.
Housing is not the issue it's addiction. Yes, housing should be more affordable though.
