Fresh vegetables are the cheapest groceries you can buy, and the cost of cheap food doesn't even compare to the cost of renting an apartment. If you need to share the rent with a roommate, then do it.
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,
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.
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.
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.
I remember when I was a child in the 70's my mom used to pay $150 monthly rent for a 3 bedroom apartment in NYC. That same apartment now rents for over $2,000. That's the problem.
@IvyOracle my larger point was that places with low costs of living are "deserts", not only in respect to job opportunity, and usually have poorer internet quality, lack of local medical care, grocery stores, etc. I live on the outer fringe of the suburbs. Almost rural. Trade offs.
@IvyOracle I live about 20 minutes out of a big city. I prefer it. The rents so much cheaper. I feel like it's a safer place to raise my child. Sure, I spend 20$ more in gas. But i'll take it instead of paying 700$ more in rent.

It would be great if 1. Distressed properties went to primary occupants only and 2. Banks would have reserve requirements. Loose credit and opportunism have destroyed housing for most people.
As much as I hate it, I do agree. I was able to work with a lower mortgage on a new house. This would've been tough if the pandemic never happened. Alot of lenders are finding ways to sell homes quickly.
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?
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.

Homeless have no social services to help them in the U.S. Unlike every other "rich" western country. I was one day away from being homeless when I got help from my local city council. They put me in temporary housing for a year before finding me permanent housing. They also helped with a voucher to take to a special store where I could buy cheap furniture and electrical equipment. Because of this help I am now on my feet, paying income tax and rent every month, as well as supporting local businesses with my food purchases etc. This system, in the U.K. is a win-win for the council, government income and the local economy. Any city with a large number of homeless, even if they get no benefits, hurt the local economy enormously!

One of the homes they were working just recently looks like they couldn't afford to finish siding it. The for sale sign has been up for about 6 weeks. Still no siding, still no buyer and appears the owners don't want to rent it out.

Why should the government cancel rent if you are unemployed you are probably getting the extra every week and making more than what you were before covid so pay your rent
You don’t get to live for free off your landlord. Landlords still have bills to pay. They lost job too. They have families too. They face same issues as you ‘renters’ who pay nothing during the moratorium. Who helped them? They lost their life saving and retirement and property while sat o. Your entitled a$$.
If spending 35% of your income for housing is "Rent Burdened" then what is 60-70% of one's income considered to be? I would be doing really well if rent was only 35% of my income.

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.

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. If you can’t extend unemployment, at least give a monthly stimulus to all Americans to keep the economy afloat. Yes the dollar will be weaker, but America will survive.

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.
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.
No way in hell a landlord in most of America would go through all that. Few of these tenants have assets to go after. Garnishing is possible but still unlikely
I bet there will be a big black cross on a database somewhere for that. But If you didn't have a contract or it was in another name I should think Trump would be proud.
I hope when all this ends people will learn there lessons! Investments and family should be everyone's priority unless a lot of people will face this difficulties again in the future. This have little impact on the rich
I'm smaller landlord, and eviction is absolutely last resort for landlords. Its a huge waste of time, energy and money. I feel for the all tenants facing eviction right now, but a lot of small landlords also have decreased income now, and savings are finite. I also heard a lot about deadbeat tenants who have the same job, income and stopped paying rent because nobody can't evict them right now. So, they are living rent free for last 4-5 months. How is that fair? Unless state and federal governments will step in more aggressively, issuing housing vouchers, a lot of rental properties will go to foreclosure in 2020-2021, and that will hurt everyone. Banks won't be able to sell foreclosed properties quickly enough, and won't be involved much into rental business. We will see a lot of vacant or abandoned houses and a lot of homeless at the same time.
I see your argument but the problem is the government screwed most small business owners over in this pandemic not just you. If there’s a massive eviction wave mark my words there will be a revolution this century. I see either Fascism or Communism power grabs becoming a reality if this happens on a large scale both evictions and the destruction of small business.
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?
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.
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.
@@AEvans36963 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.
@@AEvans36963 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
people getting mortgages on properties for renting purposes only, when they can't afford those mortgages without said rent being always paid on time, creates all kinds of problems. who would have thought.

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.

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.

I was homeless over 5 years in California, even when i had an income it was impossible to get off the streets, even when i had 20,000 dollars and wanted to pay a year of rent in advance no one would rent to me. If you haven't been there you have no idea how bad it is how bad it gets. I fought tooth and nail to get out of that situation and it was luck that got me out of it. Those in charge have no idea what they are doing by letting this happen.... Sometimes you get to a point you can never come back from.... Our local city gave up on expanding the cold shelters this year i bought 78 polar fleece blankets to hand out to our local homeless... For give them father they know not what they do...
@@nikkicas260 the sad i didn't my self i went through a local charity that subcontracts with willing land lords and it still takes them a ton of convincing, ive never even met the person who owns the property everything goes through the charity
Maybe rent prices would finally come down after mass evictions leading to smaller pool of renters. No one should ever have to pay more than 20% of income on rent.
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.

One thing I don't like about these eviction clips. They assume the landlord is rich and can afford to let their tenants not pay rent for 6 months. This is the 2020s, housing prices are so high the landlord has bills to pay too, mortgages on those properties, the renter doesn't pay get evicted, they move into another place down the road while the landlord is a mortgage holder, may lose the property and lose whatever equity they have there and have that on their credit rating for years to come. Not every landlord is a corporation, in fact most aren't.
To be honest the whole idea of rent is crazy it's like health insurance. shelter food and clothing is essential. This world is screwd everything should not be monetize this is one of the downsides to capitalism
The minimum wage is still $7.25. Companies will not raise wages until there is a law that says they have to. It’s shameful how can people live on that.
But how many people actually get paid that. Most don't get paid minimum wage though. I don't know anyone that does. The least make a little over $12/ per hour but still that's more than minimum wage.

I have kept the rent the same for 12 years because I appreciate my renters always paying on time. Nothing I have done is illegal, immoral, or unfair.
I just want some of you to realize not everybody who did not pay their rent could not pay their rent... many people chose not to pay their rent because they thought the government was going to protect them no matter what
I’m sorry but none of this is the landlords fault. Do you blame the dealership when they repossess your car for non-payment? It’s not your property and nobody is entitled to free housing. We have a housing affordability crisis and the reason being is too expensive to build housing due to regulations and zoning laws. If you want to solve the real problem, go after ridiculous prices in the market and the rent will follow. Rent only goes up typically because you voted for increased property taxes, and rising housing costs that will be passed along to you!

Fresh vegetables are the cheapest groceries you can buy, and the cost of cheap food doesn't even compare to the cost of renting an apartment. If you need to share the rent with a roommate, then do it.
Cuz rent are way too expensive and hourly pay is a joke
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.

Motorhomes and RV dealers are sold out, they are advertising to buy used units, people have gotten wise as to how almost all rent is a rip-off
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.

Homeless have no social services to help them in the U.S. Unlike every other "rich" western country. I was one day away from being homeless when I got help from my local city council. They put me in temporary housing for a year before finding me permanent housing. They also helped with a voucher to take to a special store where I could buy cheap furniture and electrical equipment. Because of this help I am now on my feet, paying income tax and rent every month, as well as supporting local businesses with my food purchases etc. This system, in the U.K. is a win-win for the council, government income and the local economy.

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.

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. If you can’t extend unemployment, at least give a monthly stimulus to all Americans to keep the economy afloat. Yes the dollar will be weaker, but America will survive.

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.
Some people are not paying rent and are stashing their money. So when eviction restarts, they have money to move elsewhere.
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.
No way in hell a landlord in most of America would go through all that. Few of these tenants have assets to go after. Garnishing is possible but still unlikely

Investments and family should be everyone's priority unless a lot of people will face this difficulties again in the future. This have little impact on the rich
I'm smaller landlord, and eviction is absolutely last resort for landlords. Its a huge waste of time, energy and money. I feel for the all tenants facing eviction right now, but a lot of small landlords also have decreased income now, and savings are finite. I also heard a lot about deadbeat tenants who have the same job, income and stopped paying rent because nobody can't evict them right now. So, they are living rent free for last 4-5 months. How is that fair?
Unless state and federal governments will step in more aggressively, issuing housing vouchers, a lot of rental properties will go to foreclosure in 2020-2021, and that will hurt everyone. Banks won't be able to sell foreclosed properties quickly enough, and won't be involved much into rental business. We will see a lot of vacant or abandoned houses and a lot of homeless at the same time.
Exactly my thoughts as well, I do see a foreclosure wave coming very soon.
Who's not paying rent? Man I'm still paying for rent and they havent said anything about extensions or non payments...except for my IPL bill.
all those empty houses will have people living in them
Fair?
Rich people got there off the backs of others or jumping through loopholes before they are closed up...Thats Murica
I see your argument but the problem is the government screwed most small business owners over in this pandemic not just you. If there’s a massive eviction wave mark my words there will be a revolution this century. I see either Fascism or Communism power grabs becoming a reality if this happens on a large scale both evictions and the destruction of small business.

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.
A lot of this is caused by greed.
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.
@@AEvans36963 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
@@AEvans36963 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.

@@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 ;-).

Now, I can't pay the bank and they are going into foreclosure and trust me they will be on street eventually and so will all the other tenants that have been paying because many homes are purchased on one loan.

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.

Maybe rent prices would finally come down after mass evictions leading to smaller pool of renters. No one should ever have to pay more than 20% of income on rent.
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.
Is this what life is about? Stressing to pay rent??🤷♂️ Sad!!
Crazy ain't it we got to pay to live
pay rent, medical bills, water and food.
Well if thats the case everyone else can live outside
@deee dawwwggg sounds like u done it b4
I'm so glad I paid off my mortgage last year. Peace of mind!
Congratulations on your debt free lifestyle!
Congratz Someday I'll get there. Paid off credit cards in January.
I just paid off my Student loan. Next the auto, then the house.
Congrats to you 🎉
Congrats!!!!!! A true blessing
Property taxes, maintenance expenses, etc.
Is it fair to say, that the government is causing all Americans to become homeless???????????
I bought a RV class C for 3,000 with 60k miles...very clean and its the best purchase I ever made
There are plenty of Jobs, the taxpayer owes you Nothing!
@@stacyclarkson6202 Plenty of jobs working for lawyers doing the paperwork for all the lawyers filing millions of eviction notices. Temporary jobs to delivering the eviction notices. Temporary jobs moving the personal property from houses and apartments out onto the street.
@@rhigel2269 there is plenty of help wanted signs!! Where I live! Get a life, and get a job! I have the most common job in the USA, and I made $80,000 last year..Im a truck driver!
@USS Pandumbic I have raised 5 sons and am raising twins 12 years old!! The world/taxpayer owes you Nothing!!!
In America, you can be a successful as one's talents and hard work take you, or you can be an absolute failure!!
But no one owes you a place to live, your stupidy is yours alone!
@Bodfishblues that's almost funny, are you saying he pays in more than it cost the taxpayer????
Average hourly wage is not 22 bucks. It’s more like 16.
More like 10$ to 11$
11.80 in upstate ny
Not even
More like no matter how much you make the government always gets its taxes before you get your paycheck, then tax again for every single thing you buy, wait it's only going to up with all these people dying from covid19, the government still wants the same amount of taxes pluss more for there greedy grubbing hands and there will be even more people with out a home??🤔🤔🤔
And if you don't have specialized skills, it's more like $12-15 if you're lucky. People can afford rent on $22/hr and there aren't a lot of jobs bringing on new hires that are starting them at $22/hr. There are but you gotta search hard and beat out the hundreds of others trying to get that same job.
Houses an apts in California are so high is rediculous an they know it.
Linda Stuart I found your “d t’ d”. Here you go.
MOVE THEN AND DON"T TRY TO LIVE BEYOND YOUR MEANS
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.
4000 a month
cos those apartments arent for YOU... those houses are for people with money, dont matter if they are LEGAL inmigrants... only matters money. soo even narcos of latin america are most valuable for Unites States than his own citizens... LOL
Congress Needs To Take Care Of The People Not The Corporations
I totally, agree. Thank U speaking up.
One thing I don't like about these eviction clips. They assume the landlord is rich and can afford to let their tenants not pay rent for 6 months. This is the 2020s, housing prices are so high the landlord has bills to pay too, mortgages on those properties, the renter doesn't pay get evicted, they move into another place down the road while the landlord is a mortgage holder, may lose the property and lose whatever equity they have there and have that on their credit rating for years to come. Not every landlord is a corporation, in fact most aren't.
the so called "best country in the world"....PLEASE!!
Its a lie they tell you like other lies, this country full of lies and greed
it WAS the best country in the world years ago. That's long gone.

To be honest the whole idea of rent is crazy it's like health insurance. shelter food and clothing is essential. This world is screwd everything should not be monetize this is one of the downsides to capitalism
The minimum wage is still $7.25. Companies will not raise wages until there is a law that says they have to. It’s shameful how can people live on that.
But how many people actually get paid that. Most don't get paid minimum wage though. I don't know anyone that does. The least make a little over $12/ per hour but still that's more than minimum wage.
They need to live on a strict written budget. Tell your money where to go rather than wondering where it went.
People need to start listening to Dave Ramsey. It really changed our lives living debt-free
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.
Lower the cost of rent to $200.00 a month like it was in the 1980's and 1990's it's not that hard. Problem solved
My renters pay less than the mortgage! I can’t go any lower.
I'm just curious... How do I pay my mortgage, maintenance, taxes, insurance... And much more?
I'm a property manager.
@@kayleeveal5260 Start buying cheap supplies that is not expensive or go to yard sales that sell things cheap. It will save you a whole lot of money.
The more you help yourself save money, the more you will help those that have kids keep a roof over their heads and a place to stay.
small coffee maybe they should get a second job if they can’t afford to rent the house, or rent a cheaper place! If I can’t afford my house I will move.
dajokn19 I actually haven’t “made money” off the house. (See my comment above) there is a whole range of options for various income levels, section 8, etc. I do agree housing prices are out of control. I have kept the rent the same for 12 years because I appreciate my renters always paying on time. Nothing I have done is illegal, immoral, or unfair.
I just want some of you to realize not everybody who did not pay their rent could not pay their rent... many people chose not to pay their rent because they thought the government was going to protect them no matter what
I’m sorry but none of this is the landlords fault. Do you blame the dealership when they repossess your car for non-payment? It’s not your property and nobody is entitled to free housing. We have a housing affordability crisis and the reason being is too expensive to build housing due to regulations and zoning laws. If you want to solve the real problem, go after ridiculous prices in the market and the rent will follow. Rent only goes up typically because you voted for increased property taxes, and rising housing costs that will be passed along to you!
Partly agree with you

Also remember to END the Fed and PROSECUTE the "people" who run it for COUNTERFEITING America's currency, thus causing inflation and making LIFE itself too expensive for so many.
They can evict people, but who will they rent to?
They will hold the property vacant and sell it to the highest bidder. This is what is happening in San Francisco.
@pennless8 They already have homes.
In Toronto, it’s so easy to find someone who will rent your place after evicting someone else due to the high population density. Or at least it was. Now that there have been strict laws and bylaws to prevent mass evictions, mass evictions are very unlikely to come.
You've got to be kidding me, there are many people I know with great jobs and credit waiting to move in to my rental unit that have offered me more $ than the rent is now.
Why are the Asian doing so well? That's right, they get educated and stay together as a family.
So you think there are no asians panicking during these times?
Gabster you cannot be this stupid.
You must be pretty ignorant if all asians are doing well.
If they evict millions, who's going to rent them.
No worries, landlords will end up loosing the property anyways. Then it will be supply Vs Demand for the renters.
That's what all the illegal foriegn nationals are for at the border cheap labor so they will house them in our homes.
The US cant cancel rent without canceling mortgages right? Landlords got bills too.
Cancel mortgage and betray their bankster leaders for get about it.

@Amelinda TOEIC Yes. Uncle Sam can blame everything on socialism and jabber about "owning liberals" but we all know a little Socialism is what we need now.

Always pay rent first, you can lose everything else. But pay your rent first.
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
You would think that people will stop having children until a stable home is possible.
Well, people having kids is at an all time low.
@@mattwolf7698 In some countries, yes, but many other countries still have an average of more than 2 children per woman. As long as populations are growing, more family planning, contraception, education, and female empowerment are urgently needed. We have seen the dangers to the society, to the environment, to the planet, to families, to poor communities, and to indigenous peoples, when economic growth is pursued and measured as a matter of quantity. We need to focus much more on QUALITY. Quality of childcare. Quality of elder care. Quality of education and universal access to it. Quality of housing and universal access to it. Quality of jobs/work where employees are respected and kept safe and healthy with a livable wage. Quality of wellness and prevention rather than spending TRILLIONS of U.S. dollars per year on sickness, drugs, chronic diseases (i.e., what people give to themselves by bad daily habits and choices), hospitals, price-gouging pharmaceuticals, and overpaid specialists.
