    It is nearly impossible to survive on 20$ an hour for a single person here, problem is that there is way too many people are moving down here and are driving up prices .

    Greedy landlords in Colorado are charging insanely high HOAs of $8,240 a year. The HOA's are due quarterly. The HOAs are in addition to the mortgage, interest, insurance costs. So if you put $50,000 on a $200,000 Condo, your mortgage would be around $815 a month plus $686 HOA for a total of $1,501 a month. It gets even worse. This is the cost for a very plain and average looking old condo built in 1968 in a working class neighborhood. Greed gets rich from creating poverty.

      That's really a shame... I know it's getting bad everywhere nowadays.... this will definitely be remembered as the age of greed .

    I lived in Texas and the most I seen for a 2 bed was $995 for a very nice apartment a decent apartment $800-$600. I miss Texas so damn much.

      Texas has its good points but it also has its bad points... if you like unbearably hot weather and sweltering the minute you walk out your door... day after day after day after day for months at a time you will love Texas . I'm so glad it's winter right now here in the Dallas area

      @@bigpimping15 there's no way that was an Austin unless it was a shithole that's for sure or a very long time ago .
      A lot of people in the Dallas area are paying an average of 1100 to 1300 for one bedroom apartments and that doesn't include if you want a garage a lot of them are charging anywhere from an average of 80 to $100 monthly .
      A lot of the two bedrooms are easily averaging 1500 more or less... at least the people I know unless again it's a pretty horrible place and a lot of those apartments are pretty damn small from what I've seen because they come with all the accoutrements such as the gym and the swimming pool so they make the apartments smaller so you can have those amenities that many people are not even using .

    It's kind of a shame a lot of older people are forced to live in age restricted communities due to limited finances .
    Not everybody that's older wants to be totally surrounded by only older people . That could be very depressing and make one feel even older than they really are .
    Some of them like living in a regular Community where there are families with kids of all ages and people of all ages ...and it is a much more healthier environment .
    Too bad the government just doesn't allow senior citizens to get a discount on their rents .

    Are they from here or ran here for better liberal hand outs from CA to NY? Who moves without first getting shelter? Not me. Never.

      Many more with better weather also. Colorado is cold. The skies are often gloomy with grey clouds. I like crayola blue skies with puffy white clouds; like in Maryland, where you can race the clouds down the highways for fun. However, Maryland is pricing folks of average means out or out into the streets to live in their cars or tents. Don't come here unless you make 100K or more. If you make 75K or below, you'll be too rich for welfare and too poor to buy a decent house and may have to live in your car or a tent; or have to leave. Taxes are very high in MD; and so is the cost everything else, since the majority of people here are wealthy; and many poor who provide cheap labor demand welfare, health care, and other services that must be paid for by taxpayers. Too bad because Maryland is such a beautiful state otherwise with beautiful mountains, woodlands, neighborhood parks, trails, lakes, and beaches.

      @@ganymeade5151 what about the area around Elkton Maryland do you know if that's become really expensive ? Are you in the part of Maryland that's closer to DC ? If so I can understand why that's so expensive . But surely farther out can't be real pricey... right ?
      But it's become pricing all over the country..... any place near any Metropolis seems to be pricey . It's terrible what has happened to this country..... and yes homeless people no matter where you go you can find them . It's terrible . Also I wouldn't call somebody who makes over $ 100,000 a year rich by any means.... let's just say they don't have to worry about being homeless . Sure if a person makes a hundred thousand a year and invests it properly and doesn't have a lot of bills they could probably eventually end up being rich if they know what they're doing .
