@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.

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.

I tried to warn Americans about this years ago. The response was me being blocked on FB 🤷🏽‍♂️

WoW, that's really sad!!! I have 7 kids and never had any threat of Eviction because I work much and pay every bill!

This whole thing is a setup!!

the banks, most of them anyway, are crooked as hell. homeowners right now should be keeping an eagle eye on what the bank is doing with the mortgage account. this is how the housing crisis happened after 2008, banks were screwing around with the accounts when homeowners couldn't pay or has issues paying. and they're doing it again, already heard of a few financial institutions messing with mortgages already.

Patricia Henry Don't forget property tax and insurance!

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

Helen watch this video and you will know why ukposts.info/have/v-deo/f2l6fGOPgoehsH0.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.

People who own the buildings and houses people rent have mortgages and taxes too.

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.

Kept going up even though renter didn't get a better place.

Rising property tax and water isn’t helping either

@Mike Dunigan what do u do if u dont mind me asking?

Indeed... sad

Location also plays a big roll too

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.

@IvyOracle 500 a month on a mortgage when the nearest decent paying job is 300+ miles away, maybe

@IvyOracle my larger point was that places with low costs of living are "deserts", not only in respect to job opportunity, and usually have poorer internet quality, lack of local medical care, grocery stores, etc. I live on the outer fringe of the suburbs. Almost rural. Trade offs.

@IvyOracle I live about 20 minutes out of a big city. I prefer it. The rents so much cheaper. I feel like it's a safer place to raise my child. Sure, I spend 20$ more in gas. But i'll take it instead of paying 700$ more in rent.

Sadly they often are because middle-class Americans fight tooth and nail to prevent construction of new housing.

Until people file claims - then they just cancel everyones' policies.

Usual insurance companies don't normally cover high-risk they cover reasonable risk, high-risk come as additional coverage I believe they call them Surplus lines.

Truck Taxi But why on earth do Americans let insurance companies decide on whether they will pay? Why don’t you vote in universal healthcare, like every other modern country! There are so many countries with excellent healthcare! Just pick one! Why are you allowing people to be victimized when they get sick?

Absolutely. The rich will be eaten if millions of people are evicted. This is not going to have a happy ending if the government does not extend rent freezes and extend unemployment.

It’s frowned upon in the United States to not live on your own. Some people in the United States have this 1960’s mentality were you work from the entry level position and then make your way up the ladder, then from there you could potentially have enough money to buy or mortgage and pay for your families expenses on one income, but that is not the case anymore, especially when you look Up bureau of labor statistics and see on average people in the USA are only making 30k a year in individual income, that’s on top of rising cost of living too. Nowadays it’s best to share expenses with family or roommates and then invest from there.

Sadly some states actually have a limit on how many none relatives can live together.

Bryan Hernandez, you’re smart, my husband and I went without “stuff” for years, and now at the ages of 40 and 50 something, we have a paid off apartment building that’s making us money as we speak.

Nota Bene, I finally agree with you on something, it cannot guarantee anything for anyone, that’s true, but that’s the beauty of it, in my opinion. I’d have stopped working hard in a minute if I saw other people being GIVEN what I worked so hard for.

I have a good paying job. Rather than buy expensive watches and huge TV's I focused on paying off my mortgage before I retire. I ended up paying off my 15 year mortgage in just 7 years. I won't lie, I had a little bit of fun during that time. I ate at posh dining establishments maybe once every three months. I brought one huge TV. Most often I played on my computer, PS3 and PS4 to keep entertainment expenses low. I wore basic clothes blue jeans and tee shirts. I have no car due to disability, no expensive hobbies. It is funny today during COVID19 I have NO MORTGAGE just a property tax payment I easily pay. People who once told me how stupid I was to pay off my mortgage first. suggesting instead I invest my mortgage principal payments in the stock market instead are sitting on the streets with a busted stock portfolio and no house due to foreclosure. I can live in my house you can't live inside your investments. Bryan you got it right my dude!

Nota Bene, I immigrated to the US knowing exactly what I was getting into, even though my home country provided “free” everything. Everyone is free to explore the world and make a home wherever they think is best.

@Nota Bene age 20-30 pay rent, 30-40 buy home and start paying it off, age 40+ buy more properties and rent them out. That's how it should work.

That’s what I was thinking. That stat doesn’t make sense. 60% of income, pays food, and the other basics, no?

yeah snap 35% of your income on rent is nothing.

Of course that if prices stay the same. No many people make this kind of money so its a struggle for many folks. Food and health care is most expensive. Food you can get it cheaper if you want to eat unhealthy processed garbage which will make your healthcare bill skyrocket from all the health issues caused by a poor diet.

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.

@@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!

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

+nichole Roberts: As well? Forgive all debts including loans forever with clean start.

Exactly!

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

@Real Truth stop stelling my name

@kiwi Boo Hoo, Don't live beyond your means and plan for your future

What what 100k and struggling to pay rent there? Wow

Don't worry, it will be QUICK...

that was the goal of the coup members (jfk coup) they want to destroy this country.. the great experiment in freedom.. and go back to their dictator ways.

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.

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

State and county are the biggest thief here. Housing taxes and utility taxes and fees and theft

Yes. $750-800+ for a decent 1 bedroom apt is obscene. Tenants are expected to pay for amenities they may never use. It's ridiculous. Some rents are very high to keep out certain people, such as low income or ethnic people, so it's not just about greed. The ongoing housing crisis in this country is terrible.

@@AEvans36977 People always have a choice to not live in such places. Finding the right place to live in that is just the perfect balance for your income level, commute to work, children's school etc. takes time but that time is worth the investment.

people with money from around the planet goes to usa and steal oportunities to the gringos.. lol

@@AEvans36977 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.

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.

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. ❤️

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 . Knowledge is indeed power . I pray for everyone to go through this and may God see us through 😭🙏

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!

@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 ;-).

Yes please tell someone earning $10 an hour and struggling to afford $2000 rent that their money habits and lack of savings are the problem 🙄

@@pattymayocakes $2000 rent is nuts. Here in Central Florida (Ocala area) you can get $10+ hour easily jobs but Rent is $$700-1000 for a two bedroom.

@@pattymayocakes where at. i think youre exaggerating.

@@Fc9ers bay area. $1300 is considered cheap for a studio in the hood, not a major city. I've seen studios in SF go for $1800-$2000 if you're lucky. For a studio. I was exaggerating about $10, in SF you'll make $15. Which means even working 40 hours a week, BEFORE TAXES you are earning $2400 a month. $1800-$2000 gone for rent. That leaves $400-600 a month for all your food, taxes, insurance, transportation, medicine, kids supplies, savings....

@@pattymayocakes yes my friends rents studio in san jose for 2k. who ever is makng minimum wage in bay area and paying 1500 plus for rent is in the wrong city/town. gotta go to smaller towns in CA.

It’s insane that people will not build you a house for free? It’s insane that repairmen will not repair your ac for free? It’s insane that a plumber will not unclog your pipes for free? It’s insane that landlords will not let you live there for free?

IvyOracle that’s not really easy because most of the job opportunities are unfortunately in expensive cities especially for specific industries. Although there could be a benefit if some people do migrate to more rural areas and take on more skilled careers

@@topcomment3816 LOL!! You couldn't say it any better. It sucks but true.

@@pierrehenry3483 that's the problem, too many people are gathered in one spot and too few gathered in other spots. There are places in which rent is $350 a month and others that are $3,500 a month. What's even worse sometimes the $350 place is a better building.

@IvyOracle I rented an recently updated (back then) house with large rooms, free utilities and bimonthly cleaning service all for $350 a month. The only downside was it required a $4000 deposit. I kinda regret leaving.

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!!

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.

Haven’t they received $600 per week more? Most are making more not working than they did before. There is no excuse for the burden put on the landlords. This is why the evictions will go through. The moratorium said that those effected by COVID-19. These selfish people do not deserve anything other than eviction. We landlords have also lost our jobs. We are hurting really bad also. But for some reason people feel that in addition to our being wiped out we should also carry the burden of all of these renters. Shame on them.

Getthehelloverit Not everyone got unemployment, and are still waiting, if they even get it, that’s why! Or some don’t qualify.

®ioT it’s a country where people are allowed to make decisions that either affect their lives positively or negatively. Don’t forget about personal responsibility when it comes to paying your bills. If you lose your job there are plenty of jobs out there you can find right now, even though it may not be the most convenient or glamorous job you’d like to have.

@M. Penske and which country would that have been?

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

@@mannypee205 dont forget the lazy,and tha babys mamas,with kids by different daddys

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.

Congratulations on your debt free lifestyle!

Property taxes, maintenance expenses, etc.

Its going to be worse, not better. Lenders will see more risk (higher lending costs), higher taxes, higher insurance, less good jobs, fewer new builds of new units pushing up competition will forward to the tenants leading to even larger expansion of homelessness.

Our base income is the problem. UBI or minimum wage raised to 20$ an hour are the only fixes.

@@kevallll I am opposed to ANY minimum wage. If I have a job to offer and and I offer you a salary, you either take it or leave it. Someone will eventually take it. Guaranteed.

maybe government needs to lower taxes

@@purplenights1 Yeah, but that's preying off of desperation. In fact, a $15 dollar an hour minimum will strengthen the economy. There does, however, need to be rent caps, or there needs to be a public option when it comes to apartments. Check out what Vienna, Austria did. It's a damn good success story.

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.

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.

California is weird because they let out of country people buy real estate in the state, about half of downtown LA is owned by wealthy Chinese trying to hide money from there govt. It drives the housing prices to high for the regular people living in the state.
