Where did all the housing go?
In: 7
Nowhere, they are building more homes/apartments than ever.
However, housing that is affordable (and no, not “affordable housing” for Section 8 and such) has pretty much gone away.
I live 30min away from a decent metro, and since Covid prices have soared. The absolute cheapest apartment you can find is around $1500, and most places want you to make 3x, but even at 2.5x that’s $45k/yr, and minimum wage is $11/hr, so a single person needs to make almost double that to qualify.
