From what I've seen....the US government has programs in place to aid less advantaged people in paying their rent. Therefore landlords have figured out how to take advantage of this by raising their asking prices. The government pays so much and the renter pays their portion....even if tge renter isn't paying...the landlord still gets a fair amount. This hurts those not on assistance programs as it generally makes them less reliable and profitable income, so it's best to keep rent out of their price range.
