    I’m on a fixed income and cannot live in California. I do thanks to parents giving me some intergenerational wealth early by paying my $2k-ish rent for me. (They’re in their eighties and still alive.)

        New York? A half month in a leaky but somehow airtight corrugated metal shed, no air conditioning and a communal bathroom that also happens to be the yard your “bungalow” is in

        Ohio? 6 months in a house that used to be someones starter home but they added more to the house, cut it in half, and now charge the same if not more rent for each half than someone paid for the original mortgage. You will be harassed for the rent because “i have to pay the mortgage” but it was paid off over a decade ago. The landlord takes multiple vacations, out of the country, every year. Conveniently around storms and bad weather, so when your roof falls in there’s nothing they can do for two weeks.

              Maybe answering questions you don’t actually have the answer for isn’t for you 🤷🏼‍♂️

                You are in a meme community for politics asking housing questions. Maybe show up at the right house before you start knocking 🤣 the fact that you had no worries but to reply immediately? Get real.

                  I was about to take out the garbage when I saw your post which was convenient because it was just more trash.

                  Stay irrelevant
