imagine if video games made it as hard to get housing as real life
#rant incoming#my area has record breaking low (bad) housing vacancy rates#driving the extremely high rent prices even higher#and creating this situation where theres so much competition for available units#that even when you have options you can afford (i have 2 roommates so we can afford 3 bedrooms rates)#when you actually look every single one is like no students :) looking for working professionals :) perfect for families :)#:) if you dont make 100k with a perfect credit score dont even darken this propertys doorstep with your filth ass :)#20 people viewed the propety before you today and already submitted applications in blood signing their souls in offer to the lord of land#so we will be selecting the noblest one worthy of this glorious prized rental listing by dawn#this region is fucked#having a good pay is barely the baseline adequacy to be allowed to be alive let alone dream of moving out of this student oriented apartment#“oh just keep trying!” “look at all these listings you three can afford! such nice houses for rent!”#me and 100 times as many other people as there are listings yeah#i almost wish there WAS more rundown shithole options here just so there were actually options#but its almost too nice#everyone is trying to live here#costs are ridiculous and the hidden secret layer of competition makes it impossible#its so incredibly disheartening#to see all these listings on paper that we can manage to afford but will be denied for every single time#thing is too that while two of us are just finishing college and have fulltimes starting#the third is currently in a (soul sucking) full time and is going to quit and starts college in September#so we will be sniffed out and branded as students again even if we try again next year#cause they always demand full income info for each occupant#god just#seeing all the people we are competing with at this one open house viewing we went to#like professional looking middle aged adults with kids or newly retired or whatever and here we are#a ragtag bunch of queers who look younger and less gainfully employed than we are#i just. it makes u want to cry. its laughable. we have no chance#they never let you even see an application without a viewing of the property first too so they can sus out your vibes#and if they do offer application first its like the most sketchy looking email and they want all your documebts and paystubs attached
