😮💨 I understand too well. “Average” single family homes in my area were like $400,000, now it’s $820,000. Rents for single bedroom apartments went from about $800-900 month to $1,600+ per month. I live in a town of about 65,000 in the Rockies, middle of nowhere, like minimum 5 hour drive to a city with more than a million people, yet somehow, people are still flocking here from all across the country.
We need to tax big corporations and use it to fund public housing at a rate of one unit per 1000 residents in every Big City to small town in this country, and that’s the minimum amount some areas will need much more

Do you have fiber internet and legal weed?
Edit: lmao wrote free weed at first.
Yep, probably why people end up here instead of the more conservative shitholes.
