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
We literally have a social credit system here in the USA and yet we love to drone on about China's. I don't see them disqualifying people from housing for bad credit.
Uh, but have you considered the fact that you can raise your credit score by proving yourself to be a succulent paypig for banks? Over in bad country, the proposed social credit system has you raise your score with preposterous things like contributing to your community. The US truly is the best country in the world :joker-amerikkklap:
Wait until you look up the home ownership rate in China :joker-troll:
You're right though. Same shit with healthcare in the US. Chuds and libs love to complain about wait times and 'rationing' in a single payer system while ignoring that healthcare is already rationed in the US based on ability to pay.
No, NOOOOO this can't be, :wojak-nooo: the evil CCP is FORCING people into homes against their will!! :NOOOOO:
China home ownership rates... THE EVIL CCP IS LYING
Chinese COVID deaths... THE EVIL CCP IS LYING
Chinese life expectancy... THE EVIL CCP IS LYING
Stay mad, cope... China keep winning :xigma-male:
I just wish China would finish off the USA. Put us out of our misery comrade Xi, please.
It’s amazing what the largest redistribution of wealth in human history does
My dad fuckint hates me and still wont kick me out because of housing prices being too high
Yeah I showed up with a years worth of rent 3 years ago last time we tried and was still denied.
They just don't want to rent to poor and working class.
I'm going to be looking for an apartment in a new city in the next few months and this post is filling me with dread
:yea: same
i may or may not also have a deadline on it so uuuhm yikes!!
Tried getting a place with my cousin a couple years ago and between his 500 something credit score and wanting to not live in the toxic waste part of town made it literally impossible to find anywhere.
It’s insane here too, renters want you to have an 3x the rent income and the average rent for a 600 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment is $1800. That’s almost double the yearly min wage for a 1 bedroom apt
Luckily where I live it's not quite that bad, but it's getting there. My sister has a similarly sized studio apt and was paying like 1200 because she got it in the heyday of the pandemic, now she's renewed for something like 1500
Plus every place charges you like $50 a month for unassigned parking, it’s such bullshit
thank god i agreed to the rent on the place i'm moiving into soon in janurary. i thought it was kind of steep then but god i'm glad they can't put it up.
but its only a one year lease. gonna have to find my own place properly soon :agony-deep:
My parents had this problem growing up, this was in the stone ages, so it may not be as reliable now a days, they may have miswrote some numbers on the SN portion (like changing a 4 to a 9) of the application and happened to get into some place. This worked a few times in their favor.
Yeah doubt that would work. Everything is digital and connected now. If you gave an SSN the credit report would pull up a name and it wouldn’t match yours. There’s multiple redundant reporting bureaus, so multiple redundant copies of your credit history. There’s no way that multiple banks and agencies would all be missing info that would prove you’re not who you say. You would have to go all the way into identity theft and fraud to pull this off, forging documents and shit
Scored a basement apartment that's 73% habitable for human life. No roommates. Feels like I just unlocked the fuckin sharingan and im bout to go sicko mode :sicko-charging:
As someone who's trapped in a money hole and unable to pay deposits I feel u
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.
