Look I never reblog political shit but Katie Porter is actually MY congresswoman and I REALLY FUCKING HATE BANKS.
the problem, as it is, as i see it as an non-american outsider - someone living in germany - if id be making that much money a month - I’d be swimming in so much money over here, i wouldnt know what to do with that at all, and no im not joking.
these rent-prices are absolutely fucking ridiculousness - im living in a 33m² apartment thingymajick, that may or may not be bigger then what that woman in example is living in - i pay like 1/3 of that rent over here, and other ppl in other countries pay only 1/3 of what im paying monthly….
everything is way too fucking expensive and hyper inflated in america, and that is what is killing that country currently…
Hell, I pay a third of that rent for my house payment.
Rent is ridiculous. I managed to save up enough to buy a house recently, and my mortgage payments are $615 a month. This includes mortgage insurance, house insurance, and property tax because they like to wrap it all up together.
My friend, who lives down the road in a one bedroom apartment with maybe a quarter of the square footage, has to pay $900 a month in rent. No combinations for renter’s insurance or utilities.
The rent is too damn high.
the housing market is absolutely fucked because the boomers decided to raise it a shit ton leading to the housing collapse of 2008 which contributed to the 2008 recession. Basically we are all fucked financially speaking because we have to deal with the fallout of the fiscal irresponsibility and general selfish entitlement of the generations before us
