For some reason all the local city subreddits are absolute cesspools of fascist pus-drooling ghouls coming as close as they can to dropping a hard R without getting banned

All the landlord types out there gravitate towards local/city subreddits.

The thing that gets me is that every response OP is making is being downvoted into oblivion, and then I click on them expecting them to be him making excuses or cussing people out and it’s just… him saying thank you and politely explaining that none of them have bad credit scores?

This just further cements the fact that I need to get the fuck out of this state. It’s no wonder I’m so lonely, all of my neighbors are soulless ghouls.

You know you’re the bad guy when honesty and kindness starts sounding like hostility and sarcasm.

It’s impossible because you’re trying to get a 2 bedroom apartment off of only 2 financial contributors. Tell your cousins to get a job or live elsewhere.

it’s impossible because you think that working and making what would be a decent living anywhere else should even cover the cost of one bedroom, get real kiddo

All the smug dipshits telling them how cheap it is in the midwest (or further inland in CA) makes my blood boil. Yes, move to south dakota, then you can be in basically the same situation, but making so much less money that the lower rent barely fucking matters

What do these kinds of people expect a couple with a child to do lol? Welp, she can walk and talk now - pretty sure she can go work in the Amazon warehouse at this point.

The utter fucking insanity of saying “your problem is you’re looking for a living space intended to house 2 people with only 2 incomes”

Reminds me of the redditors that will find a house online in rural Arkansas and say that if you’re homeless you should go there, never asking why the house is priced at 40k.

That’s the same argument people on here make about how there are 3 homes in the US for every homeless person.

That’s actually counter-argument to the absurd notion that the reason there’s so many homeless in the US is a lack of housing

I think that’s because most people omit the very important “in places where people want to live” which makes it a lot more valid.

It isn’t, though, because vacancies have high rates in every locale.

guess your grandparents should have moved here in the post-war housing boom with a job working for an aerospace contractor, where they could get a 5 bedroom house for $35k like mine did. then your parents should have spent the 80s and 90s buying up shitty rental properties to gift to their kids as passive income. you need to earn your place here
