Half of all renters in the US make major, long-lasting sacrifices to afford housing. A basic failing of US capitalism. Many millions suffer so a small minority - landlords - profit. The system is the problem.

      Decrease the “defence” budget and the private prison budget, put that money into building public houses that are managed by the state.

      You know how parcels and or houses are bought or rented from realtors? That realtor is now the city. The city also employs janitors to keep the housing maintained. If you got a problem that needs fixing you call that janitor to get it fixed.

      So instead having a private landlord you have a public landlord in the form of the state.

      Look up social housing

      The lion from Narnia would walk out of the wardrobe and say “housing is dank” and it will be so.

      Kidding but I think housing should be more widely provided or subsidized for the poor, with a tapered payout for all the way into the middle class
