They do rough-sleeping events yearly to raise money, did one myself in 2017. I'll tell you, sleeping rough in November is no joke.

Like someone on purplegaf said:
we're in the home stretch. There's vaccines and cases are dropping. Why do they protest now?
By Daz Go To PostI really dont understand.I think it's stuff like protesting against any possible future lockdowns, wanting a faster opening, and wanting restrictions on foreign travel lifted. And also a core of 5G conspiracy nuts

Now, he said, housing demand in the Boston suburbs is stronger than he has ever seen. Lamacchia Realty reached $1 billion in sales last year for the first time. Buyers have higher credit ratings these days. They are flusher and are putting down more cash up front.
“On $1 million purchases, people are putting down $500,000,” he said. “You didn’t see that before.”
In 2020, sales of previously owned U.S. homes surged to their highest level in 14 years, and many economists forecast sales to rise again this year.
The biggest winners in today’s boom are people who already own homes, who gained a collective $1.5 trillion in equity in 2020 from a year earlier, according to CoreLogic. They have also saved money by refinancing their mortgages at record low rates. Many have started renovation projects or bought vacation homes.
Those trying to break into the market for the first time have rarely found it more difficult. U.S. house prices soared 10.8% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier on a seasonally adjusted basis, the biggest annual increase in data going back to 1992, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency. The median home purchase price climbed above $300,000 last year for the first time. Nearly one in four home buyers between April and June bought houses priced at $500,000 or more.
“Housing has become a luxury good,” said Glenn Kelman, chief executive of real-estate brokerage Redfin Corp. “The economy seems to have officially split in two. There is so much hardship in one part, and then there’s just an absolute mad dash to buy houses in the other part.” The homeownership rate stood at 65.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020, up from 63.7% in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.https://apple.news/AnarG386ITtWslBazJOGOzA
Home ownership is a boomer and rich people's game. Those middle class and below especially millennials that haven't been in the workforce long enough can't afford a ridiculous down payment and pay above asking price will stay stuck in uncontrolled rent prices that will just keep rising because they can. Everything is working as intended.

Rent prices in the largest cities has actually been falling.
By diehard Go To PostPoor usage of the word "Housing".From an absurd high to a slightly lower absurd high.

Last time my wife and I looked at places two years ago at one of the big apartment complexes they wanted $4400/mo for a 1br. We obviously didn't go for that and went for something less expensive but that same apartment we looked at in that building is now $3400/mo. Still absurd.
And it's all part of the same contributing forces that article is discussing.
By reilo Go To PostFrom an absurd high to a slightly lower absurd high.There is absurd and then there is San Francisco absurd though.

By diehard Go To PostThere is absurd and then there is San Francisco absurd though.Montreal also coming up.
By Daz Go To PostMontreal also coming up.What? Montreal doesn't even register on the cities with expensive rent. You must be thinking of Toronto or Vancouver.
By diehard Go To PostThere is absurd and then there is San Francisco absurd though.NYC, and even places like Austin and Portland are all moving in that direction. Places I used to rent for $1000/mo 6-7 years ago in Portland are approaching double that.
You should read up on home prices in places like Boise that's seeing an influx of an economic boom from a rise in population.

By batong_nr1_rangers_fan Go To PostTime to move to cheap LondonLovely place but no, thank you lol. The air quality is awful over there and it smelled worse than New York City the last time I went.

Man that's just not reflected in any of the shit my friends are dealing with so I'm wondering if that's just new developments that are priced just too damn high coming down skewing the shit anyway. Normal shit is still steady from what I've seen.
I'd like to know the type of apartment/rental too, as I said, the only drops I've seen round here are new developments that were asking for bullshit prices in the first place.
Reilo already said it best
Until the figures are 50% and above, it's hard to paint this as anything other than expensive.
