People can't afford houses. Im one of them I'll never afford a house because wages are too low for the cost of housing.

It costs me about 30k a year for a 2 bedroom apartment. I don't live in a large or fancy place.

I'm 45 and was never good at school. Im doing better than most. I don't have kids, I don't go on vacation, I basically stay home because I can't afford anything. Finding a better job than the one I hate has been impossible for me.

I'm single and I'm barely able to save anything . I need a new car which I can't afford. It shouldn't be like this, I need to make over double my current salary to be considered self sufficient.

More houses means absolutely fucking nothing to me and again I'm doing better than most.

This is NOT a supply issue, I should be able to buy a place at this point but I can't.

In 2010 I was paying 900 a month for an older 2 bedroom apartment. Now I'm paying over 2.5 times as much in rent in less than 15 years. I was making 15$ an hour then. I'm not even making 29$ an hour now. I would have to work 80 hours a week if not more to be able to afford to buy a place.

Until there is a program or help for people to be able to afford to live in the places they can find work more housing is just making money for people with lots of money.

The only way out of this is to give help to hard working people who just want a place to call their own. It's fucking rediculous
