Fortunately we have Rent Control, so your rent won't jump in some huge way, putting you out on the street. Because of the way Gasoline is treated here, the prices of everything is affected, but they say there is less pollution in the air, than there used to be. Still there are always the farmer's market and co ops stores that have discount prices.
