+1. My brother lives in rural Maine. His house would sell for under $100k today—3bed/2ba. Schools are pretty good—2 elem, 1MS, 1HS.

Seriously? You don't need to be the same sex to use the same bathroom in a family, SMH.

There are many places that won’t rent a one bedroom to a parent if their child is the opposite sex. This has nothing to do with bathrooms. 🤦


This is racism plain and simple.


And the impacted race would be?

If it were me I would look for a low / moderate income restricted apartment in our region and stay local. Having family nearby is very helpful.


$70k for a household of two is not going to get you in an income restricted building.
Try to rent a basement apt from a private landlord.

I did not mention bathrooms- I was assuming one. Some places won’t rent a one bedroom if the child is opposite sex.


What does this even mean anymore? Anyone can identify as anything.

Yup, and some places that require a bedroom for each kid if over a certain age and different sexes (it's local laws--stupid but landlords follow them)

I am in a small midwestern city. You can’t help purchase many small homes for under 100k. The schools are good, excellent if you are on the AP track.
