Rent in my city is about $1000+/month for a single bedroom apartment and $1500+/month for a two bedroom house. From what Ive heard, this is becoming very common.

I grew up in Baton Rouge and from what Ive heard, the rent prices are getting similar there, too. When I left Louisiana, the minimum wage was about $7/hour, so that price for rent is unsustainable for most workers. If a full time minimum wage worker cannot can not afford a single person apartment, that means that rent is too high or the wages are too low. Wages are stagnant and the cost of living is rising.

Yeah and this problem is only gonna get worse

If we dont wanna go down the rent control path maybe we should be looking into UBI adjusted by cost of living across the country
