Rent affordability will deteriorate over next two years: Zillow CEO

16. He is wrong, right now I am making more money then my landlord

And that has been the case with all my landlords over the last 20 years. One even had to spend time on the "County Work Crew" to pay off fines due to failing to pay child support. My present one is a little better then my previous landlord, he is at least above water, but given rents in Johnstown barely making anything on his rental units. Housing is so cheap in Johnstown and so hard to sell I have refused to buy. I do NOT need to own a piece of property no one will even buy for non-payment of taxes (a big problem in Johnstown, people just walk away from their homes, they jobs are elsewhere and they can not maintain the house in Johnstown and sooner or later they just abandon them, they stop even paying the taxes on them). I know one person who use to own a bar in Johnstown with a nice size side room doe parties. It has been up for taxes for about six years and the mortgage had not been paid in over 10. The bank has REFUSED to foreclose, they do not even want it.
