Fucked up how even though my income doesn't change, my portion of my subsidized rent goes up by about $20 -$30 EVERY YEAR. When I was talking to the realtor working with the owner to sell the property, she was surprised at the amount of rent I pay. She said all the tenants with section 8 that she'd worked with pay about $100.
I told her yeah, that's because they only earn - or only report - less than $1000 a month. By section 8 & other social services standards, my $1900 a month means I'm rich! - Starmama
