Units are being built for illegals with no gas or electric boxes. They pay NOTHING for gas or electric and subsided rent. They get paid in cash. We had an illegal here and he got killed crossing a street. The authorities could not find out who he was because he had 10 IDS. How many times do you think he went to the welfare office under different names? We are so stupid to allow this.
“You say that as though that’s a bad thing.”
LOL.
A 200 sq ft studio with a Murphy bed & a 2 burner hotplate is worth $250 a month, maximum, IMO.
Not $2500.
Rent subsidies have driven housing costs UP by guaranteeing slumlords will get over $1000 per month for hovels that would go for 1/4 that on the free market.
Working poor are forced to compete with unemployed & illegals, not for housing, but for for housing *vouchers,* the availability of which are controlled by the government.
Bring back free market rents (i.e. what renters are willing/ able to pay) and enforce immigration law & homelessness will disappear.
