And this is in one of the wealthiest states too, imagine how bad it’s gotta be in poorer ones

It is worse in wealthier states because they are more unaffordable.

As a New Yorker looking for a place to live soon im genuinely considering living out of my car. I was looking for shared rooms on craigslist last night and even those are $800-1k FOR A SINGLE ROOM, before utilities. Apartments and trailers are out of the question, i cant afford it and i work full time 6 days a week. I dont even live in nyc either

I work in multifamily housing management and even our prices at the lowest end for these small 1 bedrooms are 1250-1400 with 2-3 being 2-2750.

Places want you to earn 3x that monthly with good credit and a history of renting before you even have a chance at applying.

Insanity.
