I pay 900 and get 500 back from the government. So my rent is in fact just 400.

Pretty much

u/TickleMonsterCG Jun 20 '25

If you live in the middle of nowhere, rents usually pretty cheap.

u/Shantyman001 Jun 20 '25

Not even here is it that low. Doing some renovations on an apartment building and it's one of the shitty one bedroom ones and rent is $1400 a month. This shit is ridiculous everywhere

u/Vast-Spirit-4105 Jun 20 '25

I have 650 here. Population 120

u/Vast-Spirit-4105 Jun 20 '25

Why were you downvoted?

u/RyFro Jun 20 '25

Do you have roommates?

4

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

No. Just me. Its a basic apartment. Im saving for a house, so I dont mind the cramped accommodations.

2

u/RyFro Jun 20 '25

Is it a studio apartment? I'm impressed with your rent situation regardless of location, good for you!

0

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

It has a few more rooms than a studio, id say 2 people as long as they get along, would thrive.

Its because I actually shop around and show lower prices to my landlord, save money, pay on time and not be a nuisance.

People become complacent when they find something.

Same with jobs.

If you dont speak up for yourself, no one will.

Does your Landlord price match?! My landlord would tell me to move if I did this. Lol

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

Ive had a few LL who told me to move, so I did. This one has been good so far.

Post about lowering rents Guy with low rent gets downvoted to oblivion . Yup I don't hate Reddit enough.

1

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

Thoes in reddit want you to suffer, they want you to be complacent, to go with the system, to be bogged down by it, waiting for a savior who will never come.

2

u/_Ironstorm_ Jun 20 '25

Yup, they glorify the one who continues to suffer and punish those who try to do something about it.

u/EnderMango Jun 20 '25

We all need something to help us live 🫩

u/_Ironstorm_ Jun 20 '25

Ideological hypocrisy isn't a basic human necessity. It's a luxury of the bourgeoisie.

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

So, reddit.

u/MrSelfDestrucct Jun 20 '25

He venmos his mom 600/ month for the basement

37

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

Moved out long ago, but thats not a bad alternative to paying upwards of 4k a month.

15

u/MrSelfDestrucct Jun 20 '25

Damn can I live in your mom’s basement?

18

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

She has strict rules youd need to abide by

22

u/MrSelfDestrucct Jun 20 '25

Kinky

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

Not exactly, just dont destroy her basement.

17

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

In the north. And not near a city, where people are taxed up the ass.

11

u/Lobster_fest Jun 20 '25

Yeah, because its the taxes that make city living expensive. Right.

3

u/Dyledion Jun 20 '25

Now hang on a tick. Higher taxes = more capacity for govt interference per capita. Generally, more government interference translates directly to a more restricted, oppressively regulated housing market. A restricted, regulated housing market immediately attracts sharks. 

3

u/Lobster_fest Jun 20 '25

Zoning laws are a far more obvious and direct cause than taxes.

7

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

Companies and businesses owners raise prices in response to changes.

5

u/DemadaTrim Jun 20 '25

Yes but that's not why living in cities is expensive. Cities are where people want to live, high desirability means high prices.

4

u/headermargin Jun 20 '25

That too. Theres many reasons for high price, sometimes people are assholes, sometimes it may actually be worth that much.

Theres way more things id pay 4k for.

2

u/DemadaTrim Jun 20 '25

I mean, they are worth that much as long as people exist who will pay that much. That's what "worth" means. Would prices be lower if more cheap housing was built? Yes. Would developers build more cheap housing if regulation allowed? I doubt it. Likely they'd build things terribly but slap a coat of "luxury" on it and match current prices, because people who exist who will pay it. That's what capitalism rewards, selling the worst product for the most the market will bear. Quality is only a concern in certain market conditions.

u/Overdose7 Jun 20 '25

Like when their sense of greed strengthens. If they didn't also increase profits at the same time then, yeah, that'd be it.
