Well, Don, 'round these parts (Washington, D.C. area) most folks can find work that will pay 'em $100 a day. But the average rents are so high that after payin' the rent yer broke! All one is doing is workin' to keep the landlord fat... In Loudoun County, Va., the average rent is around $1800 a month... There are lots of folks livin' in their cars... And these are the folks who can't get laons to purchase houses and if they could, there ain't no affordable housing to be found.... The average price for a home is pushing $300,000 in the D.C. area! Crazy...
