Skyrocketing housing impact single moms, senior citizens

- Skyrocketing rent prices in South Florida are some of the highest in the country. For many renters, it's forcing them to look for something more affordable or in extreme cases live out of their cars.
People tell me my place isn't big enough, not enough bathrooms, not in the right neighborhood, not the right neighbors. I am just happy not to be homeless.
Do what’s best for you don’t listen to negativity
Amen👍
Word of suggestion. Just push those peoples out of your life. You don't need them. Cheers.
It’s about what makes you happy and what fits your needs.Some ppl are too preoccupied with excess that they forget life is more than about material goods. We will all die one day and our stuff isn’t coming with us. What we experienced in our hearts and minds is what stays with us.
Absolutely!!!!
That poor man!!! I just wanna hug him! At seventy nine years old, you shouldn't hafta worry about where you're going to lay your head at night. Freakin ridiculous. 😒💔😒
I pray the seniors and single moms are assisted!
Single mothers get enough assistance
@@jasminekennel5849 Seriously?!!!? I wonder what state that occurs in?
@@pinkiesue849 most states

@@Striker50_ so what, how does focusing on the past help the current situation?
I feel bad for the 79 year old man. We should do better as a country and take care of our seniors and children. Why don’t we have more affordable housing and build townhomes and tiny home villages.
Ya, can someone get him into a small place?
They should do this and we wouldn't have problems with the homeless either.
@@Nikki-kh8pm yes we would have problems with almost all of the "homeless" who are addicts or crazy and should be locked up.
I wonder how he never got around to buying a house when they were dirt cheap for almost all of his life. I hope he has some family to help look out for him, he seems like a sweet guy. I wish there was a follow up about him.
You don't understand. The wealthy need to be billionaires. The poor can manage. This is the republican playbook in a nutshell.
Every day, I keep looking at these stories because they keep popping up in my feed and they are scaring me, but motivating me as well. I mean these stories have compelled me to bite the bullet and pay off my mortgage in full this year because right now, my home still belongs to the bank via my loan. At least once I pay it off, no matter what happens to me financially in the future, I’ll have a place to call my very own. And because housing is typically our biggest expense we have in our lifetime, as long as I have a home, I feel I can easily tackle anything else that comes along.
It's so nice to see at least one thoughtful comment. Thanks. And you're right. I paid off my home 18 years ago and it changed me in more ways than I had imagined. When I was paying a $2200 mortgage payment spending $150 on dinner didn't seem like much money. When the mortgage went away those $150 dinners stood out as a big expense. I started asking myself "Do I really like $150 dinners that much?" They were helping to make me fat. Didn't like that. Didn't like the huge amount of time eating out takes. Could the $8k/yr dinners be used for other things I'd enjoy more? You betcha. Dinners were forgotten in hours, adventures lasted. Whole bunch of things like that.
Mortgage money is cheap right now so paying off a mortgage doesn't make a lot of financial sense. But it did for me. I hate investing, suck at it. So I doubt I could have put the money to better use. Big stress reducer too. Markets go up, down, I don't much care.
I payed off my mortgage in 2019 and I found nearly 3 grand a month to save and been saving every dime of it and keeping my debt low no credit card debt and no car payment just saving as much money as I can
Exactly! 💯💯💯
I think everyone should be focusing on buying a home, a condo, whatever you can afford and pay it off as fast as you can. Having a paid off house gives you peace of mind. Having a paid off home is more important than having a child. Why would you want to bring a child into the world when you don't even own your own home? That's just asking for financial problems.
Yes pay your mortgage off if you can! The biggest mistake I ever made was not purchasing my little rundown condo in Jupiter 10 years ago. Now that same unit has quadrupled in value and I am paying more in rent in a run down shack in Lake Park that it’s just been sold to Wharton realty group. They are giving us 15 days to come up with $4500. Doubling my rent. 🤮
@@HH-gv8mx wow that’s crazy! I know how you feel because I let a good deal slip through my hands in 2008 that’s now probably tripled or quadrupled in value. I’m definitely heeding your advice and I hope you find a suitable and affordable place soon!
Rent is to high in all 50 states they need to cap rent period
They also did that in the Soviet Union
@@maxdirnfeld2233 The soviets gave their people free public housing. There was no homelessness.
Rent control discourages investing, which makes rentals scare. Then a black market opens up to where people sublet or rent illegally. Rent control has many drawbacks. You should research it to find out exactly what I mean. It’s good to understand that stuff.
@@shadowwolfkano and we all saw what happened to the Soviet Union. It’s unsustainable to have that, and when that stuff collapses, which it always does, you have mainly a poor society and the rich holding all the wealth. Look at the game monopoly, where everyone starts out the same, and the end one person controls it all, and everyone doesn’t. That’s how it works in real life. It’s human nature and the natural flow of things.
@@jesse_- The people who lived in those houses still own their home in modern Russia. If you're so deluded into thinking that helping citizens get housing will ruin a sovereign country, I think you might actually be braindead.
The people who own the properties are artificially inflating the price. At this rate we are heading for another house collapse.
And this one will be ten times worse !
No, we aren't. This is not 2008, it's just the opposite. REITs have bought up millions of condos, apartment complexes and single family homes mostly entry level to rent. That has eaten up affordable housing for families wanting to buy a house. Latest from the National Real Estate Group is houses that families making $75k-$100K annually can afford ($200K-$300K mortgages) there is nationwide 1 available home in that price range for every 65 qualified buyers. Many builders went under after 2008 so scant new building since then. Now with supply shortages, retiring skilled craftsmen and increased labor costs affordable houses are just not being built.
No collapse. There nothing indicating a collapse at all. The market will cool off if builders can start keeping up with demand, but they cannot. Interest rate hikes can cool off the market, but they’d have to move high enough to price people out. There is a major supply issue, and inflation, and it’s not getting better, which will keep home prices on the rise. There will be no collapse or crash, unless the economy housing collapses, and in that case. Those banking on a collapse have no clue what they’re talking about.
There was/is a mass exodus from high taxed, crime ridden, big cities to Florida, Arizona, and TX... supply & demand is also a big factor here, not to mention some landlords trying to catch up the mortgages after the 2-year moratorium on rent without the same grace from banks on paying the mortgage 🤷🏾♀️
you are speaking facts JayT, they have triple dipped during the pandemic and then they claim that they have to pay rising cost of property taxes and nonpayees of rent during the pandemic but the renters were able to apply for the rental assistance and PPP or the other loan that they dont have to pay back so they got ample monies but they are now perpertrating a fraud and squeezing the middle class
It's happening everywhere,I'm 60 and homeless for the first time in my life,because of all the greed in every state I can't afford to rent or buy
Sir, I am so sorry for your situation
So sorry
The USA is Collapsing
Id recommend looking for roommates & getting a place.

@@Yandel21ableify no way would I go to mexico I don't care for Mexicans besides if Mexicans would stop coming here maybe there would be more affordable housing,I never see a homeless Mexican.
Those rent increases are just pure insanity. How are you going to have a functioning country when this many people forced to live near homelessness? All they build now are condos, so they can jack up the rent whenever they like. Live with your family until you can afford a home. No condo inbetween.
Some people honestly don’t have a family and even if they do, many of their family members are struggling to
Where were you when landlords robbed moratorium
That you don't understand how markets work is kind of the root of your issues. Beverly Hills, kind of expensive rents and doing pretty well for themselves. NYC, Paris, Hong Kong, etc... all pretty pricey yet a lot of people live there and more would if they could afford it.
You see the system we have is a kind of capitalism. People buy land and improve it in order to make a profit. People who can afford it pay for the convenience of those improvements and their standard of living is improved. Buyer gets the convenience of not taking a risk or doing the work needed. Seller gets the profit so they can afford an even better place to live.
Paying for convenience can be expensive when there are a lot of people wanting that same convenience..As there are fewer and fewer people willing to take risks, invest and build new conveniences those people get higher and higher profits as the convenience seekers bid up the price.
This works fine for the convenience seekers as long as they have enough money to out bid the next convenience seeker. When they can't they're forced to reduce their level of convenience consumption. It's sad for them when they reach that point...but not for the other convenience seeker now living in their old home.
And most of the Greedy landlords will have by next year high taxes, and they will be so behind in their Bill's, that I would like to see, how they will feel when the bank takes it. And they will be considered homeless. It's pure crime to raise the rent 100% another $ 2,000 thousand dollars up
@@MrWaterbugdesign
It's funny that you say N.W.A. doesn't understand how markets work, yet in your analysis, you missed one huge piece to why prices are so high right now: lack of inventory.
Specifically, shell companies are coming in and buying up all of the inventory (with all cash offers, sometimes 20% over asking price), thus reducing the amount of houses available to bid on. This then forces some people to rent and landlords know the market and know they can get away with charging what they are.
What you're describing has been going on since the beginning of time and isn't the reason why prices are spiking the way they are. You're clueless, yet you're acting like you know what you're talking about! 😂🤣😂🤣
I feel bad for Tom. I hope things work out for him.

A new wave of America: The Working Homeless
We have those in CA now
No not new at all! Working homeless increase in numbers has been going on since the last recession in 2007. If you live in larger urban areas like NYC and LA you would know this. Many in the homeless shelters are employed
Sad situation when you have to live or exist in your car , what is to say that your nice vehicle quits working, new transmission on a used car that does not have a warranty? Or you need a new set of tires, or brake job, wow now days maintenance on a car is a noose hanging over your head! If you don't have friends and family or don't have the slightest knowledge how to maintain a cars upkeep, you are a goner ,oil changes cost money, a lot of people don't have car tools, never learned until it's too late! Keep strong, things tend to work out in the long run!
Cant eat well anymore because rent is so expensive
.
or cant pay rent cause for is so expensive or you dont have a high enough skill level to earn more money?
It’s Extremely scary and disappointing on the extreme increase!!
Highway robbery. I am a landlord and would not do that.
The problem is morality shouldn't govern something required, like housing. A "good landlord" is a bad capitalist. The capital incentive needs to be tempered by regulation to prevent this. Like surge prices during a state of emergency.
Thanks for having a heart.
Most landlords wouldn't, i use to only deal with private owners to build trust. Now Zillow and every site are showing hundreds of listings owned by some very shitty shady real estate company. This is massive collaboration and it is heinous. But we'll see.
Cool. What's your number? I'll rent and then rent to others at the market rate. They'll be happy to have a place they can afford. I'll be happy with my profit. And you'll be happy for giving me a gift. Sweet. Win-win-win.
@@shadowwolfkano The question isn't whether people should have a home. The question is which home? Are people entitled to live in someone else's home? I worked to buy land in a super popular area, built a house with my own two hands and now someone wants to live in it but pay me less than 100 other people standing in line to rent it? Since it would be immoral to rent to the highest bidder how do I pick which of the 100 people I should give this gift? By race? Gender? Kids? Disabilities? Sexual orientation?
America has a lot of extremely inexpensive property. Cairo IL there are many homes for sale for about $20k. That's land and an actual house. The issue here is people want to live in the best areas and want to keep everyone else out so their rent stays low. Greed swings both ways.
This is not fair on so many levels‼️
Seems fair to all the people who invested and worked to build the city. Seems fair to all the homeowners who did without many pleasures in order to purchase with the hope of making money on their home someday. Seems fair to all the people who paid the taxes to build the infrastructure that created these popular places to live.
Yes, it does suck to have to work, save and live within our means. Wouldn't say unfair.
Fair is where they give prizes to pigs! No one ever said life was fair!!!

For all of you who have a mortgage you’re very fortunate because if you miss a payment you’re not locked out of your home if you rent and miss a payment that’s another story so thank God that you have a mortgage and that you were in a position to buy because not everybody has that truth be told we all are just one big natural disaster away from being homeless please count your blessings no matter where you live
Yep. Homeless here we come. Who has an additional $700 a month for rent? Not us. Scary as hell. God bless everyone going through this.
It's all the folks from up North, selling their stuff and paying top dollar here, and we Floridians can't afford it.
You're governor doesn't help any
@Eber D.C U.S. state, not yours.
People from NY are just as broke. It's the rich in New York that might be able to do that, but they make up like less than 1%. I lived in NY for a while recently and most people there can't pay their bills and are deep in debt.

This poor man!! If I had a house of my own I would say come stay with me Sir. This has to stop!! What are they trying to do here???
The comments and attitude with them. No matter what state/city you look up is always the same "MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE". You expect an 80 year old man .Who is obviously alone. Living in a studio to do that. What does he do? Throw a dart at the map of the country and go where? How does he move? When he gets there where does he go? How does he get around? Probably doesn't drive and couldn't afford to anyway. Is there a hospital/healthcare there etc. The family. How does she quit her job. Take a bunch of kids and just leave. The Governor (I'm running for President and want to make believe nothing is wrong here) in his state of the state address never mentioned once the housing problem. All reporters throughout the state contact his office and no reply or its Biden's fault. No it's your responsibility. Politics and the powerful not caring about anyone but themselves. Business's here can't find people to work because they can't afford to live here no matter how much they pay them.
This swamp was built on retiree's. Was always the land of $10-$15 an hour jobs. And still is. It's so transient no one cares. Constant influx of new suckers coming in. Only about 10% stay long term. I am one of them. Unfortunately when you do you can't go back to where you came from because your so underpaid here. Been through so many "crises's" nothing ever changes. Wait 'till all these new people deal with the reality of HOA's and 9 months a year of oppressive heat where you cant go out side. Run as fast as you can, if you can before your stuck here with now, nowhere else to go.
Heat and extreme humidity. I do not understand why people would want to live there.
Hallelujah!
Blaming the governor for the private property...?! How does that works...?!
The governor cannot do anything about private property...!!!
When you see politicians sticking their noses in private property you already have a communist/socialist system in place.

I saw this coming just before my retirement. I went out and bought a used motorhome in good shape paid cash for it and found a place to park it permanently. This is not for everyone especially if you buy a trailer like a fifth wheel because eventually they will all leak. Up keep is very important and getting used to a smaller living space is tough for some people. Of course I don't live in Florida but in Washington where I live rents have been skyrocketing also.
SAME I live in federal way and it was so good until recently
You did right!
@@bumblebee6817 is it that bad in Federal Way?
Why didn't you buy a house during your working years? You lived through decades of dirt cheap housing compared to today. Why did you wait till you were almost retired to think about where are you going to live now?
@@eckankar7756 First off I valued my free time especially when I was working. If you buy a house you are tied down to that piece of property with yardwork and maintenance not to mention a mortgage you have to pay for the next 30 years.
Also I was free to move around anytime I wanted to. I saw a lot of this country simply because I wasn't tied down to a piece of property.
I have only owned 3 vehicles in my life that I have had payments on and those were work related. I hate payments and owing people money. But if that's your bag then that's great, it just wasn't mine.
I payed off my mortgage in 2019 and every nickel and dime landlord and two for a penny investors wants to buy it from me cash offer they say. But my house is a investment property in me. Since I have payed off my mortgage I have found nearly 3 grand a month to save because I don’t have any credit cards debt and no car payment and I am happy as can be
Good for you. But maybe it's time to turn down the self-righteousness a tad? There will likely come a time in 5, 10, 20 years when you will see the world differently and you will be the nickel and dime landlord or thrilled to sell to an investor for a huge amount of cash so you can retire to some topical beach. Don't want to be a hypocrite do ya?
@@MrWaterbugdesign you sound bitter and jealous
@@MrWaterbugdesign on my behalf it did not come easy I put my mortgage payment first and there was time when I was under and unemployed I earned 9 dollars 10 an hour work two jobs my unemployment insurance was enough to pay my mortgage and utilities and before it would run out I had to take any job I could find just to keep my bills going construction, security, cleaning service Janitor back in 08 I was drawing unemployment benefits and scared out of my mind that I was going to lose my house on a fixed rate it took 2 weeks pay to pay the mortgage and that half my income and dealing heat and air people trying to sell new unit and having to do my own maintenance oooooh I been threw the ringer and trouble and made it to the other side
@@hermanrogers1325 Same here. My house and rental properties are paid and it wasn't easy. I worked two jobs for nearly 20 years. Now I have generational wealth to leave to my kids and grandkids. I'm so so so glad I did it. I had no idea housing would be like this, ever, and I don't see it changing anytime soon. Scant housing built since 2008 and supply chain challenges I don't see affordable housing other than rental units being built from now on.
@@eckankar7756 very good investing in your self is the best thing any man or woman can do but it requires hard work and dedication to your own personal self
Last days..GREED
Are you saying landlords are greedy for accepting offers to pay higher rent?
Or are you saying renters are greedy for wanting to stay in units that other people would like to move into and are able and happy to pay more for?
You have to be more specific in who you hate.
I'm kind of going with not last days. This is how the world has worked for awhile now.
@@MrWaterbugdesign you can say that because you are comfortable. But I think you are commenting on every comment under every video about this subject because deep down you have some survivors guilt for being one of the ones that had the privilege to buy before it became impossible to do so.

Yup.

I'm a single mom and a widow and me and my little one are homeless and have been for 8 months we live on a small S. S. D. B. Check and I just don't understand how people can be so selfish and cruel I need help to get a home for my daughter. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE HUMAN RACE???? And we live in Panama City FL
I'm sorry 😞 you guys are going through this. I know how it feels. I pray something comes through for you and your child❤️
$2000 to $5000??? A MONTH???? no friggin' way...you could buy a swag and be homeless and eat like a king for that...
A house in Cairo IL sells for about $20k. I assume rents are pretty low too but owners don't even bother to advertise. An owner could rent for $125/mo and make money...if they could find a renter.
Living in the best places on Earth is pricey.
Yeah, you are free to do that too, if you can afford it.
In SF they charge rent so high they don't care if the unit is vacant. They just want a high income renter
That's why. McDoanlds doesn't sell a Big Mac for $1 in ages.
This is criminal. Old people ⁉️ Governor what can be done ❓ Don't let this become Hawaii where the local people can't afford housing. Please help the old first.
Damn, I wish I could help the older guy. This is happening all over the country. In Phoenix, where I am, it’s very bad. So far my landlord hasn’t said anything about a rent increase. I’m keeping my fingers 🤞
I'm in Sedona, but I bought my home ages ago.
At some point, there won't be enough wealthy people to rent these over priced apartments. From Florida to Indiana, to Cali. And the market will crash again. This is unsustainable. When regular, working people can't afford housing then there's a problem.
They already have Chinese and other wealthy foreign people who will be moving in, watch and see.
Just think when the Service Sector Works can't live in theses areas ! have fun with no stores or places to eat. I heard its starting to happen .
@@richardg1426 It's hard to feel sorry for rich people losing conveniences because they don't want people working service jobs to be able to afford to live.
REITs have bought up much affordable housing. In the Phoenix area several builders are creating communities with a total of 4,000 smaller single family homes with small back yards but every single one of this is for rent, not for sale. As people can't find affordable housing to buy they are in competition with each other now for rental units.
If ur 70...the market has craahed numerous times in ur lifetime
I’m a lawyer and my landlord tried to fuq me by demanding a 40% increase in rent with less than a month’s notice. She already agreed to a 12% increase and I said I’d sue her for breach of contract. They’re trying shii out here

Tom, you should do what I did, I worked for FPL I made a good living but I saw the writing on the wall, I moved to a more affordable state. I suggest upstate NY, or Rural PA. Maybe Wisconsin ? The winters are hard but rent is cheap.

There’s affordable housing in Fargo,North Dakota; and the surrounding areas; and in Bismarck ; and the surrounding areas!
@@catemccool4100 your in a resort town so obviously rent will be higher than a small rural town.

This has to stop. Let me tell you, when people have nothing left to lose, that's when they become dangerous. The greed of this investors is unstoppable and the government needs to step in and regulate it. Un-capitalist? Sure, but there needs to be some boundaries for big investors specially when they use homes as chips in a casino while many people out there are suffering. Health, food, housing and security should be protected from investors.
Welcome to capitalism 101!
Now that it effects you, you probably voted against Obama Care that tried to get health Care for everyone.
Florida needs to stop voting for deregulation lawmakers.
They need to build more not regulate more when prices go up it just mean more people want to live where you are not that investors are evil
Senior should have a fixed rate for rent. They need to help the elderly , young people can work 2 jobs if needed but these elders like the elderly man on fixed income needs to be protected Why don't they have senior housing and the rent rate stays fixed.

Affordable housing for whom? The people the that will get in the town and destroy the town and most things in it
@@gkirk54 only you do that. Quit projecting.
Stop blaming others and blame yourself.
Then take action to fix it.
Hard truth
@@furenaef A systemic issue can't be fixed with bootstraps and 'rugged individualism'. It requires central government planning and a community who gives a damn about the people. Why don't you go start your own country, since you obviously don't believe it's government's role (who were elected by the citizens) to protect it's citizens from predatory exploitation and usury, dingus.
This guy should of planned his financial future better. What a mess he has at his age. He should own the building not be a renter. Its scary to be in a situation like.his
I just want to pay my house off as soon as possible. 🙏🏿
@insomnia9999 You can. You would have to make sacrifices to make it happen.
Although, there maybe shortages, this is also due in part to all of the people who did not pay rent/mortgage during the moratorium. Now the landlords are trying to recoup their losses. Many people could have paid rent, but did not-taking advantage of the situation without any recourse of how it might effect someone else in the future. Greed definitely has a snowball effect, and it is being witnessed now.
Ms. L. Churchill
Rent isn’t going back down. Maybe put that in the lease agreements, saying it will be $2000 for the year but guarantee it will down down to $1400. But they won’t because it not because of that.
This definitely make sense. I guess some people wasn't looking at it like this.
Well a lot of those landlords would have got paid if they accepted section 8 people I know that take it got their rent money.smh
les churchill, *********STOP TALKING/WRITING CRAP******** If you are on the Side of the landlords, You are on the SIDE of Darkness, Never EVER defend those demons. They don't Need the EXTRA MONEY.
Affordable housing was an issue prior to the moratorium.
I feel for Tom. Maybe he should look for RV's to rent some people rent them out from their land for 850 a month
It amazing these Governors will go on TV and pass laws so people don’t have to wear a mask but won’t do anything about this rent increase crisis and the. try to blame it on the President. It’s your State.
Good old sand trap
Unfortunately it's supply and demand this has a whole lot to do with people fleeing states like California and New York where they are being taxed into poverty by the people they elected.
Bingo!
Indeed it is price gouging just the same as gas prices going up and fuel prices in other parts of the country. And you can’t blame just want administration, they are all responsible for the price gouging! And income disparity is a huge problem that no one wants to talk about because they’re getting their cut and they are satisfied and wealthy while the rest of us are facing homelessness including myself and I do work.. for the State. It’s gone from frustrating to fear & reality for me. Employers & corporations do not have any intentions on changing in order to improve our quality of life.
So sad!
Seniors SS fixed income needs a mid year adjustment. It's become a nightmare to say the least for Seniors.
As far as price increases, set a state tax on all multi housing complexes, using the increase they forced on their renters. No raise in rent, no tax.
A income voucher could be given to renters to make up the difference.
It sucks but so does gouging. Renters are being taken advantage of.
👍😔praying for Tom to find a safe place he can call home 🙏🏼heartbreaking
A big part of the problem are the property taxes on rental units. The state of Florida and its property tax laws are making the costs for investment properties to skyrocket.
And REITs have bought up affordable housing, single family homes, condos, apartment buildings for investments. Same in the UK, most housing is owned by buyers from other countries. Hedge Funds are taking control of housing.
Let's all leave the country and go live in the woods
I've been planning to move to SE Asia. But just FYI...you don't actually need to leave the country to "live in the woods". There are woods pretty close to wherever you happen to be in the US. Enjoy.
Be sure that it is not private land...🤣
You totally gave up,just weak but stay off of private property
@@larryharris1370 I have land, but there won't be private property soon when everything collapses. Who do you think enforces property rights?
@@larryharris1370 And I know how to survive unlike you civilized freaks
They need to pass a law were Landlords have to let all Senior Citizens over the age of 62 to live in their apartment for free. They could give the property owner a 10% reduction in property taxes and make the tenants under 62 pay 15% more in rent. This would be fair for everyone involved.
that's not going to pay the bills. how about seniors saving, buying their own houses. I'm a senior, I bought an affordable house ages ago when they were plentiful and easy to qualify for. We have 47 years of adulthood between the ages of 18 and 65 to. prepare for retirement. What others did with their nearly 5 decades to prepare I don't know. I. bought a house and made investments...
I wish the 79 year Gods Speed and I am praying for him.
The government need to do something about this problem. This is ridiculous treating people like trash 😢😢😢😢
My landlord wanted to sell the property I was living in, she gave me $10,000 to move within a week!!!
AND THE DISABLED!!!! 🏠 🤷
I don't understand why these Politicians blame each others. I love how 45 and DeSantis to care for each now. I told someone the other day that go along to get along B.S. needs to stop.
So sad that rent amount is insane they probably both should
Look at moving out of state
Instead of the governor using the opportunity to reassure the residents of the state that he has a plan to address the crisis he squanders it to engage in the petty politics blame game.
Thanks again to Biden
How about reintroducing rent controls again.
I used to rent and because of the housing market it went way up until I couldn’t afford it. I have a very old condo with no amenities. I am more than thankful to have it. The republicans always blame the democrats. Desantis should find a way to control the prices. It’s his state. There’s no reason a disabled 79 year old with health problems should be thrown out on the street!!!
There’s no way a house in Memphis hoods should cost $70, 80, $200,000 lol please. No one in their right mind will buy them let alone can afford them
Oh yes they will as soon as they get you out of there,then the crime will stop.
I WOULD RATHER BE HOMELESS IN ANOTHER COUNTRY OR ISLAND OUT OF THE USA THAN TO BE IN HOMELESS IN THE USA..
I have no family support, so I am *ucked
Bless you. Save up and put down on a cheap place.
@@lisabrightly all my money goes to necessities. I can't afford to save
@@jermainemyrn19 you can afford to save. Change the stories you tell yourself. I make close to six figures now. For years I made $15.00 per hour, had only $20.00 to spend at the supermarket and at times worked 3 jobs just to stay afloat. I told myself that's the way I had to live...so guess what...that was my reality. You could literally tell yourself that come hell or highwater you will find 30k to invest in something. Then you would find it by switching jobs, getting a side hustle, starting a small business....whatever. We get exactly what we are courageous enough to ask for in this life. So ask for *more*. A lot more! You mentioned not having family but lots of people don't either. So don't be a victim and let feeling sorry for yourself keep you poor. Go get it and good luck!
@@lisabrightly you don't know my situation,but you assume I can save money. How does that make any sense to you?
@@lisabrightly alot of people do have family support, what are you talking about. most people can just go back home to recover from a bad situation.
Out of town investors are the root of this problem.
Do the money addicted gentrifiers have a time frame for when rents will be ten to twenty grand a month? And will that be enough to satisfy their addiction to money?
Maybe! They might become broke when no ones packing their pockets.
Christopher Scheiber: The Question is, when are Americans going to Wake Up and DO Something about it?? As long as it doesn't affect them directly, they will Continue to Allow it. They learned Nothing from the After math of Sept 11, and from 2020 and the Pandemic, they just came back More evil, I guess that means that the Universe will have to intervene, and truly bring them down on their Knees to teach them to BE HUMANS.
People still telling me to move to Florida, Arizona or Texas while demand outstrips supply.
It’s insane. But it’s nationwide
You can get a one bedroom for $400 in Lockport, ny right outside of bflo, ny with gas included, and just pay lights for anyone looking to relocate, rent very cheap in this city! Affordable housing is available as well!
Most of the US has rentals in the $300-500. But people want something to themselves, near the beach, warm climate AND cheap. It's called entitlement.
@@MrWaterbugdesign You are the only entitled one here.
People want to live close to their jobs.
@@winning3329 The guy in the video is on fixed income disability. A small apartment in a rural area would be something he could afford. But like the guy above said, these people feel entitiled to living on a beach, warm climate, and cheap. They should try Alabama or Mississippi. Plenty of $400-500 1br apartments there.
What about jobs?
@@finalchapter24k YOU TALK too MUCH CRAP.
It is going in in Atlanta suburbs too!
I'm in the exact same situation as the man in the video. I live in Florida and I have lived here for decades and I am disabled and I am on a small fixed income and the rents in my county skyrocketed well over my limited price range. And just like the man in the video, I feel optimistic yet quite stressed. I am worried. I have been making phone calls all over south Florida and I spend much of my day looking for something affordable, but I can't find anything. I have tried to think of all sorts of creative options and solutions, but I haven't come up with anything yet. Another issue I am facing is that my county hasn't offered Section 8 applications in years. when you call an automated message says, "Hello. we have no Section 8 vouchers at the moment. we are not offering applications at this time. Please do not leave a message." And then it automatically hangs up on you. So anyway, I am keeping my fingers crossed, but this will be quite a challenge. I've never faced this challenge in my decades of living in Florida. This is the first time I can't afford even half of the rent for a small studio apartment. I sure don't want to live out of my car, but you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess.
If you come to Arkansas you can get an entire house for about $1,000.. I'm not joking.. because I am in Arkansas.. that's just a out in the countryside
I've got my eyes on Florida myself.. I need a place to go.. because when I get there I'm going to be homeless.. I'm going to be homeless where I am at as well eventually..
You and this guy in the video should hook up and share a space
If I wasn't so far away from you I would say I would rent a back room out.. but I'm 55 a single white female.. I could probably afford up to 450 485 for rent but I have no transportation.. I can't give out names addresses or phone numbers because people on these sites are absolutely insane.. I'd get one call and continue to be harassed.. pretty sad isn't it..
@@eckankar7756 if you're referring to me I live way over in Arkansas not even close to Florida. But I would be willing to share a space with somebody.. my idea situation is crap.. I can afford 4 50 maybe.. maybe 485..
Soooo is the plan for people to tent ⛺ in front of their jobs to reduce commuting traffic in the mornings? If that's the case, it's a smashing success 📈
Most companies/businesses might go for that idea (seriously) because they will justify paying employees less money because they do need to rent an apartment. What a crazy world we live in.
@@kellynorvell5714 wait till the people that stay in front of the business in a tent start paying tent taxes for occupying said space.
I've been buying stock in Coleman just for this reason.
Good evening,
I am a single mother to my disabled son. He is nine years old and was born with autism adhd sed and odd. We have been fighting to access services and unable to access any of the disability services our state has to offer. Now we are homeless and my son is finally getting the services that we needs while I am staying in this hotel. The Department of Child Welfare refuses to offer any assistance and are quietly watching us go to the street so they can take my child instead of helping us find stable housing in the community. They have offered us money to leave the state but refuse to help us access disability services. We will be on the street Thursday and my son will lose all of his medical services if he cannot continue to go to school. They continue to refer us to resources they know cannot help and shelters that are full. Please help us. The agencies are well aware that there is housing available and are claiming a false housing crisis but there are units available.
America's greed
This is uncalled for
Mr. Cashmere there is NO Affordable Housing in S. FL. NONE! Or any part of the state or country now, for that matter.
I think they're intentionally wanting to drive the poor out of the country!
Or kill themselves or other poor people
Have seen variety videos and it landloards charge to much for what lost during moratium or corp buy property and trying to charge xtra to make back what spent to by the property and now renters gotta pay more for space in almost any state now. i just see some or many becoming homeless cause now landlords or new owners of place are asking for way too much cause otehrs paying upfront since they by chance have xtra bank to spend anytime. i plan to move later but hope and pray i dont gotta be stuck getting a cheap place and still pay too much cause of greed any. also think cause too many try move to same place so cause rents to be too hi just to get a place anytime. hope gov changes or gonna get more homeless then u have renters anytime.
Pretty long sentence.
You can always tell the kind of country by the way it treats its elderly and the USA is the worst.
This is a reason why there will be thousands more homeless people.. you can't afford the average rent it's over $600.. New York City some guy was renting apartment for $3,000 it was no bigger than a 30 ft camper. Nope if I'm going to pay that I'm going to get a whole house.. right here in Arkansas you can get an entire house for $700 800 bucks.. now that's out in the countryside.. but it's still reasonable.. $1,000 will give you a four bedroom house.. you think the homeless problem is bad now with this crap it's going to get worse
who the hell wants to live in arkansas tho? Thats how you want to live your one life?
@@itypethetruthnobshere8975 I know somebody that's renting a four bedroom house for only 800 bucks.. that is a damn steal.. you are going to see more homeless people the average rent is over $700. I have not seen anything under that.. I live in a tow behind camper because I can't afford the rent.. this camper is not fit to live in but it's better than a tent out in the woods.. because I was doing that.. I spent from June until the middle of October in a tent.. then I started house surfing going from one house to the next.. now I am here.. I would definitely be willing to be a roommate and split the cost.. but not all of Arkansas is that horrible dude..
@@katelee670 again its arkansas. Noone in history says lets go to arkansas for vacation
Arkansas, there’s a reason why it’s dirt cheap 😂
Arkansas cant compete bro...
I can't really afford even a nice motel room in prime places in Florida, lol. Everyone wants to live in warm, touristy places and expect to pay Ohio or WV rents. You can get a 1 bed for under $800 and $700 in my city, but who wants to live in snowy Ohio and no ocean? You pay for those luxuries.
Not true. I live in Alaska and rent is real high for apartments 2 room and 1 bath and no laundry. Imagine doing laundry at a laundromat in cold Alaska??
I do, it's called PRIORITIES! No one owes me anything in this world!
That's why I left Ohio decades ago and moved to AZ. No ocean but closer to one and winters here are heaven.
I care about the elderly more than the single moms
I guess it was a bad idea to let people live rent free. Mortgages still had to be paid.
That’s what happens when thousands of people are moving to a different state. They drive the cost up!
