It's worse than being reported...ppl doing bad out here
if you can afford 2k in rent even if thats a barely. find you a little house and let that be that. not rent, but buy it. at this point in time that is the only way you can survive. you can make a pretty good living but if you're renting and not making a GREAT living. you too will one day be priced out. thats how insane these rents are going up.
I agree with @dora_da_destroyer I think increased density, transit access, and public spaces would make cities more affordable and livable. Suburban sprawl is waste of resources and unsustainable. Most people have to work where there are jobs, access to health care, and ease of transportation and that isn't the suburbs or some rural area.
I do enjoy living in cities and live in them by choice.
The suburbs and smaller cities in decline should be bulldozed.
