C:S2 has solutions to high rent, at least for their virtual citizens. They removed the "virtual landlord" that takes in rent, so now a building's upkeep is evenly split among renters.
#Fuck Landlords
So, looking on Zillow, I saw that the house that I currently live in (which was transformed into apartments) was last sold a few years ago to my current landlord for around 160k I want to say. Zillow estimates the monthly payments on this place at about $800/ month, though I wouldn't be surprised if my current landlord bought it with Cash since he owns a lot of where I live and is a lawyer professionally. My rent is currently 1050/ month, and there are two other apartments in this building, both of which have been rented since before I lived here. Rent used to be $950/ month (and even that felt high for what this apartment is), but went up once the new landlord came in.
Just fucking sucks. Dude does the bare minimum for this place and his monthly costs to own this whole building with 3 whole tenants costs less than what I pay in rent to him monthly. The housing market fucking sucks ass. I wouldn't even be able to get the closing costs for a $160k mortgage from the bank so I could only pay $800/ month on this place, so instead I have to pay 1050 a month for 1/3 of this place -_-
THE RENT ON MY APARTMENT HAS GOTTEN COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. THIS MACHINE WILL REMOVE THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF LANDLORDS, MEANING FREE REAL ESTATE FOR THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA!!
