    Expenses have changed.

    My apartment I paid $700/month for in 2011 is now over $2000/month.

    When ex to expenses outpace wages more than 2:1, eventually it catches up and people can’t afford to live where the work is.

      Makes sense. Same in my area. I wonder if this isn’t all going to blow up and cause another recession soon. Seems like this shit can’t be like this for long.
