My friend in Los Angeles has a rent controlled apartment. He’s paying $1,100 per month for a 1 bedroom apartment in West Hollywood. Meanwhile my landlord has raised my rent 22% in the last two years.
I had a one bedroom in Salt Lake for years, very nice top floor apartment with a huge porch and view overlooking most of the valley. I was paying $1300 a month at the time, but the rent kept going up astronomically every year. Now it’s over $3670 a month and without them making any improvements of any kind - I had to move out but I hated giving up my amazing view.
Most renters in Salt Lake are now homeless, the wages here are ridiculously low but housing prices are among the highest in the world here.
