@johngramlich America, land of the unaffordable. And it's only getting worse. Living in Denver, the rent here has gone to the moon. A decade ago I could rent a 2 or 3 bedroom house, a 1950s ranch style home, for between $795 - $995. Today it's north of $2,500 & often over $3,000 in average.

@johngramlich $1650 is what I was paying in downtown Los Angeles before the pandemic. Now paying $3400 in Pasadena.
