Reply #4: and yet..in my town

there are HUNDREDS of foreclosed, empty houses all over the place. Rental agents deny people with "bad credit".. Every apartment place has "move-in-special" signs up, and there are two more HUGE complexes being built a few blocks from where I live..

Stores are closing right and left, and people are getting hours cut, who will move into all these fancy new apartments?

When my son & his wife rented, they paid $1350.00 for a walk-up 2nd floor place with a micro-kitchen and a living room barely big enough for their tv & couch.

It had a nice pool & they had a garage, but the entryway hall & stairs to their place was dark & dangerous-looking. He used to always wait for her in the parking lot when his wife had to work late..
