"To feel like you can't provide shelter for your kids is the biggest sense of parenting failure," says Brandi Dailey, of Loma Linda.
Sadly, it's a common feeling for many families who struggle to keep a roof over their heads. It’s especially true for single moms.
Dailey who founded the nonprofit, Thrive Single Moms, says housing costs in the Inland Empire have risen by 12% in one year alone.
"Housing costs is the majority of your income coming in every single month and you're scraping by usually two or three jobs just to keep housing over your head," says Dailey.
Inflation and migration are two reasons for the booming real estate market and the high rents in the Inland Empire.

I remember when I lived in that area 30 years ago. I knew people who would commute to and from the high desert into LA every day. Crap lifestyle.
If you can't afford to live in LA then find someplace else to live. Don't bloody commute 100 miles each direction in that traffic...find someplace else to live and work.
What might be done is to convert Camp Pendleton in Orange County into Hong Kong density & height housing.
All streets would be one lane/way. There would only be public transit available.
I never commuted more then 20 miles when I lived in orange county. Yes its expensive to live in l.a./OC but I got paid well.

I think I see a big problem.
It is mostly due to insane levels of money printing of a fiat currency, the throttling of our economy making existing products irreplaceable, and massive legal and illegal immigration driving up demand for goods, services, and housing.
With a fiat currency inflation is another form of hidden taxation. The American establishment is printing money for themselves, yoking us with the debt, and buying up our assets with their free money.
Renters have a large choice in our large nation.
The people paying those high rents think they are the best values to be had.
What and where is this inland empire?
“To feel like you can’t provide shelter for your kids is the biggest sense of parenting failure,” says Brandi Dailey, of Loma Linda.”
I think an even worse failure than raising your kids on the streets is realizing that sending them to public school made them into the God-hating, America-hating, adults you now have to deal with. And all because those ‘schools’ were ‘free’...
When did they move Camp Pendleton to Orange County?
“..majority of your income coming in..”
Working people refer to costs as compared to their “paycheck”. I wonder how much of this person’s “income coming in” is from paychecks, or what the other sources (you and me) are?
In practical terms the Inland Empire is essentially the western sides of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Although officials describe both counties completely as the Inland Empire, but lifestyles are very different in the western sides of the counties, closest to L.A. than in the eastern sides over the mountains and out into the deserts. Mountains divide the counties with the western sides lying within commuting distance to L.A. and Orange counties and the eastern sides stretching out into the more desert-like areas all the way to the Arizona Border.

Thanks. I’m guessing those who live on the east side of the mountains say “thank God for the mountains”? 😊
Chinese money the accrued in China after 20+ years of one sided trade deficits had to go somewhere in the USA. It is going into real estate. Our children are so screwed. I hope you free traitors enjoyed the “cheap” drill that lasted 6 months and is now in the landfill....
Get married. Then have kids. Then stay married.
Rent inflation is a follow-on to the housing bubble. As more people are priced out of the inflated housing market, the demand for rentals increases. Pretty simple really.
Sorry, Camp Pendleton was just south of Orange County in San Diego County.
Google Maps seems to have it split into two downsized camps.
Not the first time Google Maps was misleading. I always have to tell people coming to our place not to trust Google Maps, because it has some of the streets in the area wrong.
Los Angeles blocks new housing expanding outward. If anything is built it will be dense apt buildings with limited parking. Not enough spaces for all the cars so a lot of on street parking.
Prices are jacked up. A studio is $1,240 for 350sq/ft.
A 1 bedroom is 700sq/ft and near $1,800
A co-worker moved from Thousand Oaks area where he was paying $2,300 a month for a 2 bedroom to Eugene, OR where he now has a 3 bedroom house with a yard and he pays $1,300 a month!
My brothers and a couple of their friends rented a 4-bedroom house in Eugene for $200/month. Of course, that was about 50 years ago.
