Who is actually surprised by this? I would be more surprised if young Americans felt it was a great place to live.

    My rent is going up $200 a month “because insurance rates went up”. Sounds like a cost of doing business fam, and not my problem.

    I live in the attic of an old house with poor insulation and it is already getting into the upper 80’s after noon, somehow it is hotter than ambient. Summers are brutal. All my windows have holes and a squirrel got in.

    I am lucky, I am just going to move when my lease is up.

      Insulation might honestly make it worse. If you can, try to open a window low and a window high and move air out the higher window as much as you can. A cheap box fan wedged in the window pointing out to help draw cool air up and through is very helpful I find.

      Also it might be wise to just buy screen mesh for cheap and staple it to the window frames.
