Now their Landlords raise their rent/lease to adjust for the pay raise and they went out and bought a new car with a 500. Dollar a month payment and higher insurance and the cost of their utilities rates per month increased also.
They think that working at Burger King or McDonalds should be enough to raise a family.
The average rent payment a month here is 900. to 1200. dollars for a studio apartment before utilities. (In a dangerous part of town)
That goes a long ways explaining the amount of homeless in town.
