    It’s simple! For me I either have to pay that much, be homeless, move to a tiny shitty city with no work in my field, or spend a year trying to find a decent place that isn’t totally unaffordable while thousands of competing potential tenants do the same to renters with vacancies. So fun!

    My landlord upped my monthly rent $600 bucks this year because he’s a cunt and knows I have no fucking choice except to pay him.

      I had another comment typed before I realized that they don’t need to fill every room if they have a small fraction paying their rates.

      It’s fucking f2p whale economics without the f2p. Nothing against you.
