This report from PropTrack highlights a significant affordability crisis in the rental market. With median-income households able to afford only a little over a third of advertised rentals, it underscores the growing disparity between income levels and rental prices. This gap places immense pressure on families and individuals seeking housing, and could lead to increased financial strain, overcrowding, or even homelessness in some cases.

It’s a pressing issue that requires urgent attention to create a more equitable housing market. What are your thoughts on potential solutions to this problem?
