Rentometer

According to THIS, every apartment I have ever rented was a great deal.  This really got me thinking about the cost of living in our country.

I’m unsettled.  I’m a fairly middle-class dude, and if every place I’ve ever rented was a great deal (in terms of cost v. location), I can’t imagine how the millions of people who are far lower than me on the economic scale survive.

Wait.  I can imagine.  Better yet, I read about it right HERE.  That’s a whole lot of reading to establish that PEOPLES IN THIS COUNTRY IS POOR.

A personal observation: it really does seem like the gap between wealthy and poor in this nation is getting bigger.  Am I alone in noticing this?

  1. Sweet. We’re $25/month below the median rent for our area. I can live with that. And do you realize you guys are moving like 4 or 5 blocks from our place on Lafayette? We have actually walked to that building before….

  2. I wonder which practices widen the gap and which make it more narrow? Is it some kind of simple formula?

    Also, thanks for being the first ever commenter on my blog!
