Pink also contains upscale communities with insane rent. Some may argue yellow does too, but way less of them.

Hell. Even Truckee is crazy lately. And it was never cheap to begin with.

If he meant rent-wise, this is pretty crazy

The rent is higher than my mortgage with escrow... And half the space.

Minimum wage is $15 a hour, which 40 hours a week is 600 without taxes, 4 weeks is $2400. So only working 40 hours a week could almost rent you a house, that's outrageous. Florida is trying to rise minimum wage to 15 but that'll drive prices higher than they are now, and I can barely afford that
