  • Broseph they’ve been raising my rate since I moved in several years ago. My rate used to be $925. My brother rented a studio near my area for $1200 at that time, I have a 2 bed 1 bath unit with plenty of space. The shitty thing is that I’m more or less trapped here. I appreciate deeply I haven’t been priced out of my home, but there’s nowhere to go. And believe me, I want out of here. I guess at least I’m grateful there’s some agencies not entirely committed to totally fucking their clients.

    I’m grateful to have a stable roof over me these past years, especially considering my past, but I recognize I may be in a more favorable area in general in regards to rent prices. Shit’s rough. I wish you the best. But right now this is taking up near 35% of my income. I’d rather have the two floors plus basement even if the place is falling apart compared to having a studio somewhere. And they’d make me pay to apply and have to do a credit check. All they did here was confirm I had an income. I consider myself lucky now, though I was sour in the past.










  • From what I understand it’s mostly been staff cuts, but they’ve not been the most transparent with budget related cuts. But definitely the staff cuts are the most damaging. Can’t get much done without the experience and able hands all these employees provided, and the future effects of cutting so many people have yet to be realized. It’s like a jenga tower. So many of those people were supporting different parts of their departments, and the damage their absence will cause is gonna be years to fully be known. I should say that of course this will effect all programs in those departments, to partially answer your question. The simple fact is that they’re deliberately hiding the information you and the rest of us want in regards to hard numbers.
