  I can’t afford a down payment. You can’t buy a decent house in Cali for less than a mil. I get it. Paying rent sucks (with the advantage of not having to pay your repairs). But I can’t afford a house at this point. Just can’t afford to save enough money. So although I know it’s more optimal, I’m okay with paying rent in the current market. I just can’t deal with the constant increases.

  I think you get my point though. Paying rent is not optimal, but a person with a decent job should be able to afford it.

  I would also like to add that I earn above a minimum wage. It’s by no means a stellar income, but it’s decent. And I live with my mom, so we split the rent. And somehow I’m here stressing over whether I’ll be able to afford my place of residence a few years from now because my building got purchased by a big real estate company. This is not okay. I really want there to be some change, but I don’t know what can be done.

  I mean, every year my rent increases, which is not equally compensated for by what I earned at work. So every year I have less to spend each month.

  The thing that pisses me off is that I’m not Asking to be able to afford a house. I already gave up on that a long time ago. I’m only asking to be able to stay at a place that I’ve been living in for 10 years. And by the way, moving is also super expensive. On top of that, let’s say I did move to a place where the rent is cheaper initially, the rent is gonna be increasing every year there too.

  I’m just trying to live a stable, modest life without having a panic attack every time I see her, no tape to my door (which usually signifies a rent increase notification).

  I really wish something could be done about this.

  I assume it has to do with the part that says that its place of origin is Great Britain.
