[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Online Left in Silver Spring, median age of 24, believe that Marc Elrich isn't woke enough because he loves cops too much. They want him to defund the police more. [/quote]

24-year-olds in Montgomery County are living with their parents or other older relatives, because they can't afford the high cost of housing in Montgomery County.[/quote]
A 1 minute search has informed me that you can rent a studio apartment in downtown Silver Spring for $810 per month. If you are 24 and cannot afford that then you have other problems rather than housing costs.[/quote]

I'm guessing you haven't tried to get rental housing lately. Finding something on Google at an advertised rent is not the same as actually being able to rent it.[/quote]
No. That was apartments.com that showed real-time availability. It also showed that there were 2-BD apartments for $1550. So that 24 year old Silver Spring resident could rent that and get a roommate, like a lot of current and past 24 year olds in the area. Including me.[/quote]

No, it doesn't. It shows that people are advertising a studio in downtown Silver Spring for $810 per month. It doesn't mean that the unit is actually available, even if it is listed as available on apartments.com, and it also doesn't mean that a given person would be allowed to rent it. For example, that $810 studio in downtown Silver Spring on apartments.com is in the Charter House on Fenwick Lane, which is age-restricted to people who are 55 or older.[/quote]
No. What it means is that you think the affordable apartments that are available to you are below your standards. There are plenty of 2 bedroom apartments in the $1600 per month range. Go get a roommate not normal people do. Or not. That’s your choice. My advice is that once you get over yourself and realize that the world doesn’t owe you anything and that you’re going to need to earn everything you want is when you’ll actually get to where you want to go in life. And the first way to do that is to stop wasting your precious time online. These are the years where dedication to your work or your craft can pay the most dividends. Or you can sit in your parents basement and whine about your situation and not get anywhere in life. It’s up to you. But when I was 24 I had roommates saved money, paid off student loans and worked hard. You can do the same if you want. It’s entirely your choice. [/quote]

DP what a pointless rant.

There are affordable apartments in MoCo. They are subsidized and there"s not nearly enough supply. Everyone else with a low income (some of whom work multiple jobs and/or share apartments with other families) live in crappy, old, poorly maintained buildings. The rent might be $1,550, but the utilities are through the roof. [/quote]
