Like holy shit what is wrong with the world. Everywhere is too dark, or too expensive, or too remote, or decrepit as hell. Doesn't help that my mom's credit score is in the garbage thanks to years of scraping by as a single parent, so while I'm lucky to have a fairly high one we're immediately disqualified from many places even though she can show regular deposits in her bank account.
As a result we might be stuck paying for a prohibitively expensive PMC radlib short term lease digital nomad unit in the middle of nowhere. God damn America, god damn commodified housing, god damn the credit system, damn it all
Gotta find some roommates. That's the only way to rent without blowing up your budget.
A single room will run you $800-1200 in Houston. A double is $1400-1600. You can rent a whole house, suitable for upwards of five people, for $2000.
All the techbro micro-unit shit is there to feed a market for totally alienated young people. You can only fight the current with close friends.
