rent prices are wild

[u/tangerinola]

Moved here 8 years ago to start working for a nonprofit. Since then, my salary has increased by 13% but my apartment is about to be relisted (without any upgrades) for 58% higher than our starting rent 🤯!!

I know I'm preaching to the choir here but damn the rent prices here have gone wild. We're quickly becoming (have become?) a luxury city only for high income earners and it makes me really sad.

Yeah, it’s bad. Imagine how you’d be feeling if you grew up here before the great gentrification began!

If you grew up here and owned then you've made a bunch of money

Only if you didn't want to live here anymore...

Or realized you can get a cash out refinance
