would say that rent has almost tripled since 2008/2012 in San Diego
my rent has doubled since 2010, but also better and bigger spots
I remember thinking I could double my rent and not take a lifestyle/pay cut, but it's the fixed costs that have the lasting impact. I feel for families trying to make it work, because this rent increases plus inflation is really impacting most working class families.
I spend 100's out of my pocket, not like I have unlimited capital, or earn wild amounts of money, but compared to people pricing out groceries, there's a lot of difference.
