I adopted a family and they stole everything in my home, and set house on fire. I will help. But will never allow anyone to live with me or break into my home,
Please be balanced in your reporting...This lady is obviously a good person who needs a break. Conversely, I have stopped accepting any section 8 housing because they trashed the unit, caused disturbances and were very entitled & felt victimized by the whole world.
Never had any issue in Texas with Section 8 tenants. However the program would kick you out if you trashed the property so that might be why they always took good care of it.
Damn. All of these Multimillionaires out here, and millions are sent overseas to help others but no one will do anything to help the less fortunate. Smh..
Less fortunate? She CHOSE to be a single mother now it’s everyone else’s job to pay her bills? NOPE.

Wages need to go much higher. Employers are just going to have to eat the costs if we are going to get anywhere. Otherwise, there will be no employees in the near future
@@arthurbrumagem3844 I'm in NJ. Employers here charge the same prices, pay double the wages, pay more taxes and higher expenses than those do in FL and still charge the same price. No excuses for this nonsense
LOL yeah I know right. I am a Florida native and I laugh every time I hear someone say that. There are just as many problems in Florida as anywhere else.
If I was on section 8 or disability or something equivalent, I would not have kids I couldn't afford. I would also take any job I could find and work on my skills and training at night so I could eventually find something better. I would also save as much money as possible. I wouldn't complain about how things are so unfair and how the system wronged me. I would work on improving my own situation and be willing to sacrifice to do it. I don't think these people understand what hard work and sacrifice really mean and what it takes to make things better.
I'm glad she got housing, but most Section 8 waiting lists are closed now except for people with large families like hers. I'm a senior, and thankfully, my landlord has been kind about raising my rent. They tried to jack it up once, but last year, they only raised it $10. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if they try to jack it up again this year, because I have nowhere to go. I'm presently trying to sell most of what I own just in case I have to go rent a room somewhere. Any time we get a raise in SS, they try to take it away from us, which is just one more hand in the pot. I had $23 in food stamps taken away because of the $76 raise in SS, and also, I can now earn less than before, or I'll lose my medicaid. I have sons who are able to help me, but that may not last forever, because one of my sons is a contract worker in tech, and they're laying people off all the time. These people on Boca Raton anger me a little, because they had money when they moved there. That's always been an expensive place to live. Now they're whining? There are a lot of cheaper places to live in FL besides Boca Raton. They need to sell some of their assets and move. Rich people whining does not sit well with those of us trying to scrape by on SS and food stamps.
The whole point of the World Economic Forum is to for everyone to have nothing and be happy. I only wish I could get medicaid and quit paying the 700.00 a month for health insurance. I feel I am ripped off for medical and get to pay for everyone else. Housing should not be so expensive. I feel if they eliminate the insurance companies, the housing would be a lot cheaper.
Free for Life If your a senior why aren't you on Medicare? Medicaid is for poor people. Medicare for seniors? I'm glad your landlord is being kind. 10$ may seem like jacking up the rent to you but it's not property taxes and insurance costs have gone up astronomically.
It looks like you have for adults living there if the rent was $2500 a month divided by four? I mean you do the math time to get up and go to work ladies
I used to work for the Broward County Housing Dept., and so I can ask why 1) the fed. gov. doesn't enforce immigration law? and 2) why not make it legal to build tiny-house developments, where individuals at least are off the streets, have an address, and have a place to call their own? They can be safe and pleasant without having to be so elaborate (excessive codes permits). I saw where one city made several hundred of these individual tiny-houses, and some agency came along had them all destroyed.
Because Lobbyist throw a fit when you start handing out large fines to companies that hire illegals (that and we don't want the oranges to die on the tree). As for housing, it is always the existing residents that have a fit when you do things like tiny houses or build up more apartments. NIMBYism is the only thing Republicans and Democrats both support.
THIS MESS IS HAPPENING IN GEORGIA TO. THESE RENT PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS. HOUSING PRICES NEED TO COME DOWN. THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR IS WHO ARE MAKING UP THESE BUSSINESS AND WORK FOR THE RICH.
In 2020 I bought my 2bedroom condo for 70k. My mortgage is $300 per month! My association fees cover heat water, garbage and snow removal. ❄️ I'll have this place paid off real quick! Then my property taxes and insurance will be $89 a month! I'm happy 😊 and 🌶 loving life. Peace
Slow growth over time has many positives . But the amount of population growth that Florida is now receiving is anything but positive . Massive Rent Increases due to shortages of Apartments . Sky High Housing Prices that only the Wealthy can afford . Are going to have a detrimental Impact on the Florida Economy if Prices continue upward as they are now doing . It's getting scary for many .
Some of them are Canadians living there 6 months of the year. To someone living in southern Ontario, Canada a house is next to free even with the exchange rate on the dollar. My brother owns a couple of homes in Florida. He lives in Markham, Canada but he's white not Chinese. What would be around 20 million in Markham or Unionville, Canada is only around 2.5 million American in Florida.
And all of the new immigrants from Cuba and Haiti will need cheap apartments, to live in and with minimum wage ,how do they support their families, fast food will not cut it, low skilled jobs are a trap for these people. Rich people will be freaking out when yheir housekeepers don't have affordable transportation to and from work, what gives? A new society of the haves and have not! Young Lady has too much to burden on her shoulder for her age, cares for her brothers and sisters, she sounds like a survivor!
Solution one, get a job. 2. Share housing. 3. If that doesn't work, move to where housing is cheaper. Lots and lots of people can't afford to live in places with high rent all over the country.
Spoken like a victim how about some accountability for all her poor decisions? Who decided to be a single mother? SHE DID. Who decided to take in4 more people, she can’t provide for? SHE DID. Who’s job is to take care of said people then? HERS. Now she comes with this sob story? What a bunch of crap. These are what’s called consequences. Now she thinks she deserves everyone else to help her out and pay her way? Sorry. I don’t feel bad at all. I’m responsible, I get to pay for her because I haven’t screwed my own life up, lucky me.
I really feel for her:(( no one should be left homeless... on the other side, small landlord suffer from property taxes increase 100% from 2017 -2023 due to the sky rocking home assessment. home insurance also went double as well. Praying things will change to better soon. One of my tenant actually moved to Mississippi where is still affordable .
All you Millionaires, Billionaires there in Florida and around the world watching this. I'm curious as to what goes through your mind watching this ? Come on step up to the plate... Remember you're not taking it with you when you die !!!
Why? Responsible people, aren’t required to pick up the tab for her poor decisions, unless you count welfare, snap, sec 8, Medicare, wic, free phones …. You are very entitled to think anyone owes anyone anything. She’s the one who got herself here. She decided to be a single mother. She decided to take in 4 more people she cannot provide for and you want someone else to pay for her poor decisions? NO. How about some accountability? Goes on the news with a sob story that SHE is responsible for! I don’t feel bad for her one bit.
Shouldn’t be happening at all. She shouldn’t be a single mother. She shouldn’t have taken in four people she can’t provide for and other people shouldn’t have to pay her bills. She shouldn’t get handouts and I shouldn’t have to pay for it
How is it everyone else’s problem she’s a single mother? And she took in 4 people she can’t provide for? Now she’s crying poor me? ALL of this could’ve been avoided. Zero accountability and looking for handouts. She’s the exact example of entitlement. No one owes her a thing.
Why do people insist on living in Florida when it is so unbelievably expensive? Nearby states usually have lower prices, higher salaries, and more overall benefits. Think about moving to one of those states if you can.
But DeSantis is making sure that certain subjects can't be taught in school and certain books and words are banned, as well. He's doing such a great job setting his priorities to help the people of Florida. Most Floridians who voted must agree since he was reelected. Paradise? No!! I left after living only one year in Florida!
No one wants children groomed. Teach kids math, science, reading ...so they can go into a field and earn a great living ot go to a trade school and earn a great living. Then they will make enough money to keep up with inflation.. Or vote for people that don't keep giving Billions to other countries to continue a war instead of negotiating peace. Jmo
far side radicals like DeSantis are bad for the country, he inches FL more and more each year towards fascism. Even a republican should be alarmed by his abuse of power and numerous manbaby 'revenge bills', someone like this should not be a government official.
It is time to PUBLICALLY-in-your-face shame the housing developers to give 3% of their profit to build affordable housing. Only publically shaming them into it will work.
LOL. So true. If prices are that high in FL, I can't imagine how high it is in CA & NY. The floridians have it made compared to what other states have.
Yes but Cali wages are also much higher than Florida same as NY wages. When you balance it out it may seem like a dream what Floridians pay but when you see the numbers in wages etc then it’s no difference from what Cali and New York is paying.
@ Luis that’s actually false . Because if that’s the case California and Los Angeles specifically are the most expensive place to live in the USA , like there is a statistic for these things where they tell u cost of living . And Cali and LA specifically has the most expensive food,gas,homes in the USA look at the stats we passed sfc . The salaries don’t balance out they have not fixed this problem u must be talking about minimum wage yeah we are at 16/17$ minimum wage but the Average 1br apartment is 2000 a month not to mention gas at 6$ a gallon all pandemic. WHY YOU THINK WE HAVE THIS HOMLESS PROBLEM 80thousand homless in La alone . 😂 better calm all that competition down bro and enjoy the fact you have it easier . An example is the Average home is 800k but teachers make 70k or a cop makes 85k . So no Florida is not #2, 3 or 10 on the most expensive list brother on any list . So like I said only the real deal Holyfield can make it out here

You need half a million to buy a house in Maine now.. it's out of control. Too many equity companies taking over.. some controls are needed.. this is the biggest driver of inflation now!!!

The US has a lot of very cheap housing. Rents $300/mo and less, houses on a large lot for less than $50k that sit on the market for months, years. It's not the structures, it's the land. Where are you going to build this "affordable housing"? People want to live in popular areas that are already fully built out and the land there is already extremely expensive. So the only place to build "affordable housing" is where people don't want to live....and we already have endless unoccupied affordable housing in those places. Unless of course what you mean by "affordable housing" is to give expensive real estate to people who can't afford it. In that case there will be an endless line of people waiting for their free real estate so not sure how that solves anything. The way this was handled in the distant past was people moved to unpopular areas and built those up into popular areas. This is how every major city in the world was created. But yeah there has always been a percentage of people who wanted to move into areas already made popular and yet not want to pay the price of admission. Skip the hard work.
Prices go up because property taxes and insurane and HOA go up so landlords needs to keep up and alot of landlords did not get paid for almost a year and now fighting with evictions which cost $$$ too on top of lost rents; DO TENANTS THINK THEY CAN LIVE IN A HOUSE FOR FREE?

NOT SAYING ALL PEOPLE ARE BAD BUT SECTION 8 PUT A CAP ON RAISING RENTS TO 5% BEFORE 2022, DOESN'T EXCEPT MONTH TO MONTH LEASES, TOOK A LONG TIME TO PROCESS PAPERWORKS (MY TENANT'S NEW HOME TOOK 2 MONTHS TO APPROVE RTA + 10 DAYS JUST TO REACH OUT FOR INSPECTION APPT + 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO ASK NEW LANDLORD IF UNIT IS READY FOR INSPECTION). SECTION 8 SAY THEY ARE SWAMPED AND LOW STAFFED BUT THEY EVEN WAS CLOSED FOR ENTIRE WEEK BETWEEN XMAS AND NEW YEARS. THEY CAUSED MY PROPERTY MANAGER TO USE DEPOSIT OF $900 TOWARD LATE FEES BECAUSE WHEN A NONRENEWAL WAS SUBMITTED TO SECTION 8 IN MAY 2022 BUT KEPT PAYING THRU JULY THEN TOOK BACK THE RENTS FOR JUNE AND JULY SAYING THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO PAY IT. (WHAT TOOK THEM 2 MONTHS TO NOTICE?); THEN WHEN I HIRED A LAWYER FOR THE APPEALS COURT, HE SENT A 60 DAY NOTICE OF TERMINATION, IT CAUSED SECTION 8 TO PAY JUNE TO SEPTEMBER RENTS (RENTS WERE PAID 9/14/22) AND THEY WERE LATE!, I WOULD RATHER OPEN MY HOUSE AS A TRANSITIONAL HOME FOR THE LOW INCOME VETS AND SENIORS ON SSI OR SSDI OR PRIVATE PAY OR VIA AGENCY; I MAKE SURE I COLLECT IT DIRECTLY FROM THEIR BANK OR HOUSING COORDINATOR; I AM NOT WAITING AROUND FOR NOBODY TO PAY ME RENTS AND IN A TRANSITIONAL HOME, NO NEED FOR EVICTIONS!

Never take in unfortunate people you leaned the hard way.
Please be balanced in your reporting...This lady is obviously a good person who needs a break. Conversely, I have stopped accepting any section 8 housing because they trashed the unit, caused disturbances and were very entitled & felt victimized by the whole world.
Never had any issue in Texas with Section 8 tenants. However the program would kick you out if you trashed the property so that might be why they always took good care of it.
@@paulconner4614 My former tenants trashed the places even though they knew they would be off the program.
@@paulbrungardt9823 they're probably brain damaged.
Damn. All of these Multimillionaires out here, and millions are sent overseas to help others but no one will do anything to help the less fortunate. Smh..
Thank you... And exactly same thing i was thinking. It's a darn shame !!!
@@dimasbeltran866 Hurts the heart
Less fortunate? She CHOSE to be a single mother now it’s everyone else’s job to pay her bills? NOPE. Why should I go to work waiting tables and have to pay my rent with no help,because I’ve been responsible? Especially with my womb? She gets handouts and rewarded for her poor decisions. Never should’ve taken in 4 more People either. Where’s the accountability?
@@dcg590 I can see what your saying, as far as exercising responsibility but that still doesn't mean people shouldn't be given help whenever needed, and multiple chances to make things right
@@dcg590 Sorry but, you don't know if her guy promised her this and promised her that and than he skipped town on her and her kids. Or if she was in an abusive relationship and had to make that decision to save her and her kids or maybe if even her guy died and she's now a widower. I wouldn't be quick to judge you don't know her circumstances. You might need help as well some day anything can happen to anyone of us things can change life isn't perfect all the time. Just saying ! Anyways God bless !!! 👍
It’s getting crazy out here.I’m glad the family of 6 got some where to go .
It's not Need, It's GREED!!!!!
22, single mom, 4 adopted sisters, let me guess, no men in the picture? Good luck ladies! This is what you asked for, this is what you get.
Where is the FATHER of her child??
Exactly. Her poor decisions and I’m supposed to feel bad? Im supposed to help? No. She’s responsible for her own decisions now the sob story? Now it’s the tax payers problem? Awful
Wages need to go much higher. Employers are just going to have to eat the costs if we are going to get anywhere. Otherwise, there will be no employees in the near future
And welcome to higher prices as employers pass those higher costs on to the consumer in most cases. A vicious cycle
@@arthurbrumagem3844 I'm in NJ. Employers here charge the same prices, pay double the wages, pay more taxes and higher expenses than those do in FL and still charge the same price. No excuses for this nonsense

If I was on section 8 or disability or something equivalent, I would not have kids I couldn't afford. I would also take any job I could find and work on my skills and training at night so I could eventually find something better. I would also save as much money as possible. I wouldn't complain about how things are so unfair and how the system wronged me. I would work on improving my own situation and be willing to sacrifice to do it. I don't think these people understand what hard work and sacrifice really mean and what it takes to make things better.
I'm glad she got housing, but most Section 8 waiting lists are closed now except for people with large families like hers. I'm a senior, and thankfully, my landlord has been kind about raising my rent. They tried to jack it up once, but last year, they only raised it $10. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if they try to jack it up again this year, because I have nowhere to go. I'm presently trying to sell most of what I own just in case I have to go rent a room somewhere. Any time we get a raise in SS, they try to take it away from us, which is just one more hand in the pot. I had $23 in food stamps taken away because of the $76 raise in SS, and also, I can now earn less than before, or I'll lose my medicaid. I have sons who are able to help me, but that may not last forever, because one of my sons is a contract worker in tech, and they're laying people off all the time. These people on Boca Raton anger me a little, because they had money when they moved there. That's always been an expensive place to live. Now they're whining? There are a lot of cheaper places to live in FL besides Boca Raton. They need to sell some of their assets and move. Rich people whining does not sit well with those of us trying to scrape by on SS and food stamps.
The whole point of the World Economic Forum is to for everyone to have nothing and be happy. I only wish I could get medicaid and quit paying the 700.00 a month for health insurance. I feel I am ripped off for medical and get to pay for everyone else. Housing should not be so expensive. I feel if they eliminate the insurance companies, the housing would be a lot cheaper.
Free for Life If your a senior why aren't you on Medicare? Medicaid is for poor people. Medicare for seniors? I'm glad your landlord is being kind. 10$ may seem like jacking up the rent to you but it's not property taxes and insurance costs have gone up astronomically.
It looks like you have for adults living there if the rent was $2500 a month divided by four? I mean you do the math time to get up and go to work ladies
I used to work for the Broward County Housing Dept., and so I can ask why 1) the fed. gov. doesn't enforce immigration law? and 2) why not make it legal to build tiny-house developments, where individuals at least are off the streets, have an address, and have a place to call their own? They can be safe and pleasant without having to be so elaborate (excessive codes permits). I saw where one city made several hundred of these individual tiny-houses, and some agency came along had them all destroyed.
Because Lobbyist throw a fit when you start handing out large fines to companies that hire illegals (that and we don't want the oranges to die on the tree). As for housing, it is always the existing residents that have a fit when you do things like tiny houses or build up more apartments. NIMBYism is the only thing Republicans and Democrats both support.
THIS MESS IS HAPPENING IN GEORGIA TO. THESE RENT PRICES ARE RIDICULOUS.
HOUSING PRICES NEED TO COME DOWN.
THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR IS WHO ARE MAKING UP THESE BUSSINESS AND WORK FOR THE RICH.
In 2020 I bought my 2bedroom condo for 70k. My mortgage is $300 per month! My association fees cover heat water, garbage and snow removal. ❄️
I'll have this place paid off real quick!
Then my property taxes and insurance will be $89 a month! I'm happy 😊 and 🌶 loving life. Peace

Florida property taxes are killing affordability. The government is at fault for these price spikes.
Slow growth over time has many positives . But the amount of population growth that Florida is now receiving is anything but positive . Massive Rent Increases due to shortages of Apartments . Sky High Housing Prices that only the Wealthy can afford . Are going to have a detrimental Impact on the Florida Economy if Prices continue upward as they are now doing . It's getting scary for many .
Some of them are Canadians living there 6 months of the year. To someone living in southern Ontario, Canada a house is next to free even with the exchange rate on the dollar. My brother owns a couple of homes in Florida. He lives in Markham, Canada but he's white not Chinese. What would be around 20 million in Markham or Unionville, Canada is only around 2.5 million American in Florida.
And all of the new immigrants from Cuba and Haiti will need cheap apartments, to live in and with minimum wage ,how do they support their families, fast food will not cut it, low skilled jobs are a trap for these people. Rich people will be freaking out when yheir housekeepers don't have affordable transportation to and from work, what gives? A new society of the haves and have not! Young Lady has too much to burden on her shoulder for her age, cares for her brothers and sisters, she sounds like a survivor!
Solution one, get a job.
2. Share housing.
3. If that doesn't work, move to where housing is cheaper. Lots and lots of people can't afford to live in places with high rent all over the country.
I would love to share my story and be on this series
"A 22-year-old single mom" ...I think I've identified the problem. hahaha
When you fix greed you'll fix the problem
Spoken like a victim how about some accountability for all her poor decisions? Who decided to be a single mother? SHE DID. Who decided to take in4 more people, she can’t provide for? SHE DID. Who’s job is to take care of said people then? HERS. Now she comes with this sob story? What a bunch of crap. These are what’s called consequences. Now she thinks she deserves everyone else to help her out and pay her way? Sorry. I don’t feel bad at all. I’m responsible, I get to pay for her because I haven’t screwed my own life up, lucky me.
I really feel for her:(( no one should be left homeless... on the other side, small landlord suffer from property taxes increase 100% from 2017 -2023 due to the sky rocking home assessment. home insurance also went double as well. Praying things will change to better soon. One of my tenant actually moved to Mississippi where is still affordable .
yes you deserve a good life but the government does not owe you anything go out and get a job and stop complaining
don't see the news in California doing stories where a 2 bedroom apartment goes for 3-5 grand a month?
All you Millionaires, Billionaires there in Florida and around the world watching this. I'm curious as to what goes through your mind watching this ? Come on step up to the plate... Remember you're not taking it with you when you die !!!
Why? Responsible people, aren’t required to pick up the tab for her poor decisions, unless you count welfare, snap, sec 8, Medicare, wic, free phones …. You are very entitled to think anyone owes anyone anything. She’s the one who got herself here. She decided to be a single mother. She decided to take in 4 more people she cannot provide for and you want someone else to pay for her poor decisions? NO. How about some accountability? Goes on the news with a sob story that SHE is responsible for! I don’t feel bad for her one bit.
Wow. What about legislation and the government allowing all of this.
4 children that is enough child support money to pay rent and money left over so the woman is not collecting child support payments
This shouldn't be happening in Florida
Where should it be happening
Maybe flooding Florida fleeing blue states that closed during Covid should have been the solution for so many..
Shouldn’t be happening at all. She shouldn’t be a single mother. She shouldn’t have taken in four people she can’t provide for and other people shouldn’t have to pay her bills. She shouldn’t get handouts and I shouldn’t have to pay for it
That's the American dream
I’m in the same boat !! 🙏
Hilton Head, South Carolina, was to expensive for workers to live there forty years ago. Workers always had to commute to get there.
How is it everyone else’s problem she’s a single mother? And she took in 4 people she can’t provide for? Now she’s crying poor me? ALL of this could’ve been avoided. Zero accountability and looking for handouts. She’s the exact example of entitlement. No one owes her a thing.
She took custody of three sisters at a young age. I can't criticize that. Would you be able to do that at her age?
She gets lits of welfare cash every month.
Why do people insist on living in Florida when it is so unbelievably expensive? Nearby states usually have lower prices, higher salaries, and more overall benefits. Think about moving to one of those states if you can.
Yes like Georgia or North Carolina. South Florida is becoming the California of the east
If this keeps up, only the rich will have homes to go to and the poor will be living on the streets.
Good luck , if you can't live there you can't work there , move !
But DeSantis is making sure that certain subjects can't be taught in school and certain books and words are banned, as well. He's doing such a great job setting his priorities to help the people of Florida. Most Floridians who voted must agree since he was reelected. Paradise? No!! I left after living only one year in Florida!
No one wants children groomed. Teach kids math, science, reading ...so they can go into a field and earn a great living ot go to a trade school and earn a great living.
Then they will make enough money to keep up with inflation.. Or vote for people that don't keep giving Billions to other countries to continue a war instead of negotiating peace. Jmo
far side radicals like DeSantis are bad for the country, he inches FL more and more each year towards fascism. Even a republican should be alarmed by his abuse of power and numerous manbaby 'revenge bills', someone like this should not be a government official.

LOL. So true. If prices are that high in FL, I can't imagine how high it is in CA & NY. The floridians have it made compared to what other states have.
Yes but Cali wages are also much higher than Florida same as NY wages. When you balance it out it may seem like a dream what Floridians pay but when you see the numbers in wages etc then it’s no difference from what Cali and New York is paying.
@ Luis that’s actually false . Because if that’s the case California and Los Angeles specifically are the most expensive place to live in the USA , like there is a statistic for these things where they tell u cost of living . And Cali and LA specifically has the most expensive food,gas,homes in the USA look at the stats we passed sfc . The salaries don’t balance out they have not fixed this problem u must be talking about minimum wage yeah we are at 16/17$ minimum wage but the Average 1br apartment is 2000 a month not to mention gas at 6$ a gallon all pandemic. WHY YOU THINK WE HAVE THIS HOMLESS PROBLEM 80thousand homless in La alone . 😂 better calm all that competition down bro and enjoy the fact you have it easier . An example is the Average home is 800k but teachers make 70k or a cop makes 85k . So no Florida is not #2, 3 or 10 on the most expensive list brother on any list . So like I said only the real deal Holyfield can make it out here

Women don't need men. They can have it all. They can be moms AND have a great career. This has been plastered all over US media for the past 60 years so it must be true. Women are certainly believing it.
People working full time and can't afford housing. Something needs to give and hopefully it is the profits of greedy corporate America. Business everywhere having best years ever and paying incredibly high dividends makes the rich wealthier and driving much of the former middle class to poor. It's wrong.

It's not just Florida. Try and find affordable housing in New York or California.
Those are blue states in which those states pay more, Florida should never be compared to New York or California
MOve?
There are many areas in New York State that are affordable. There is a lot more to New York State other then NYC.
Yeah currently in a garage right now…absolutely no affordable housing anywhere in florida
Once upon a time LA and NYC were affordable too.
The housing and rental market is an absolute mess. It’s not worth having an apartment anymore. Rent is totally unaffordable even for an absolute hovel. If you wanna live on your own just buy a house.

Chaz isn't that bad-looking. She needs to get up onstage and shake that MoneyMaker. She's sitting on a Gold Mine !
Tax the wealthy. Use the money to build affordable housing...
The US has a lot of very cheap housing. Rents $300/mo and less, houses on a large lot for less than $50k that sit on the market for months, years. It's not the structures, it's the land. Where are you going to build this "affordable housing"? People want to live in popular areas that are already fully built out and the land there is already extremely expensive. So the only place to build "affordable housing" is where people don't want to live....and we already have endless unoccupied affordable housing in those places.
Unless of course what you mean by "affordable housing" is to give expensive real estate to people who can't afford it. In that case there will be an endless line of people waiting for their free real estate so not sure how that solves anything.
The way this was handled in the distant past was people moved to unpopular areas and built those up into popular areas. This is how every major city in the world was created. But yeah there has always been a percentage of people who wanted to move into areas already made popular and yet not want to pay the price of admission. Skip the hard work.

Get out! People tear your home up, steal from you, don't pay rent. Wise up.
Renting is an investment, not a charity.
Prices go up because property taxes and insurane and HOA go up so landlords needs to keep up and alot of landlords did not get paid for almost a year and now fighting with evictions which cost $$$ too on top of lost rents; DO TENANTS THINK THEY CAN LIVE IN A HOUSE FOR FREE? AND KEEP COMPLAINING "ITS NOT FAIR, IT'S NOT FAIR, WE GOT KIDS, SECTION 8 NOT GIVING ENOUGH"; GO TO WORK! FIND A JOB! STOP ACTING ENTITLED! SECTION 8 IS TEMPORARY NOT PERMANENT; U CAN'T STAY ON IT LONG TIME LIKE 10 OR 15 YEARS; THAT'S CRAZY; STOP HAVING KIDS AND BECOMING DEPENDANT ON GOVERNMENT FOR WELFARE, FREE FOOD STAMPS, FREE MEDICAL COMING OUT FROM TAXPAYERS MONEY. RENTS ARE HIGH BECAUSE LANDLORDS HAVE NOT GOTTEN PAID FOR MONTHS PLUS COST OF EVICTION!
WHEN U STOP EXPECTING FREE RENT AND LEAVE THE HOUSE WHEN U SUPPOSE TO (END OF LEASE OR OTHER), AND PAY THE RENTS DUE ON TIME, RENTS WOULD BE MORE AFFORDABLE; THESE DAYS JUST TO CATCH UP WITH LOST RENTS, LANDLORDS ARE NEEDING TO SELL, FORECLOSURE, REO, OR DO AIRBNB FOR MORE MONEY;
ME, I DON'T EVER, NEVER WILL RENT TO SECTION 8 AGAIN. TENANT DAMAGED MY HOME PUTTING HOLES, CRACKS ON WALL, DOORS, INFESTING WITH GERMAN ROACHES, BREAKING THE AC FROM FAILURE TO CHANGE FILTERS. SHE ALSO PAINTED OVER HALF THE WALLS IN THE BEDROOMS, REMOVED BEEPING SMOKE ALARMS. NOT SAYING ALL PEOPLE ARE BAD BUT SECTION 8 PUT A CAP ON RAISING RENTS TO 5% BEFORE 2022, DOESN'T EXCEPT MONTH TO MONTH LEASES, TOOK A LONG TIME TO PROCESS PAPERWORKS (MY TENANT'S NEW HOME TOOK 2 MONTHS TO APPROVE RTA + 10 DAYS JUST TO REACH OUT FOR INSPECTION APPT + 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO ASK NEW LANDLORD IF UNIT IS READY FOR INSPECTION). SECTION 8 SAY THEY ARE SWAMPED AND LOW STAFFED BUT THEY EVEN WAS CLOSED FOR ENTIRE WEEK BETWEEN XMAS AND NEW YEARS. THEY CAUSED MY PROPERTY MANAGER TO USE DEPOSIT OF $900 TOWARD LATE FEES BECAUSE WHEN A NONRENEWAL WAS SUBMITTED TO SECTION 8 IN MAY 2022 BUT KEPT PAYING THRU JULY THEN TOOK BACK THE RENTS FOR JUNE AND JULY SAYING THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSE TO PAY IT. (WHAT TOOK THEM 2 MONTHS TO NOTICE?); THEN WHEN I HIRED A LAWYER FOR THE APPEALS COURT, HE SENT A 60 DAY NOTICE OF TERMINATION, IT CAUSED SECTION 8 TO PAY JUNE TO SEPTEMBER RENTS (RENTS WERE PAID 9/14/22) AND THEY WERE LATE!,
I WOULD RATHER OPEN MY HOUSE AS A TRANSITIONAL HOME FOR THE LOW INCOME VETS AND SENIORS ON SSI OR SSDI OR PRIVATE PAY OR VIA AGENCY; I MAKE SURE I COLLECT IT DIRECTLY FROM THEIR BANK OR HOUSING COORDINATOR; I AM NOT WAITING AROUND FOR NOBODY TO PAY ME RENTS AND IN A TRANSITIONAL HOME, NO NEED FOR EVICTIONS!
