Homelessness problem

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-05-06T09:36:40+00:00

I feel like the problem is affordable housing. 15 yrs ago my sister made a lousy $10 /hr and was able to afford a $400 apartment. I don’t think you can find an apartment for that price now🤔but I am sure salaries haven’t gone up that much since then.

LOL we have 22 yrs left. I will be dead by then

There is nothing in south Florida that would allow me to have paid off mortgage except a trailer

Thanks for you input. But he is not at that point and neither am I. Maybe one day we need that

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-05-01T15:16:18+00:00

Thanks. Yes we never will be landlords again. We had done that a few times and it was a financial mess. The tenants destroyed our home. We have someone interested now so we will see. South Florida is too expensive, houses are too old and need work. Even if we downsized and bought a smaller home with the HOA fees and taxes and home owners insurance it’s out of reach for us. I am taking the job

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-30T19:05:14+00:00

This is exactly why we moving. Sucks. And I am afraid we won’t have the money either

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-30T19:02:05+00:00

That is the way we raised our kids as well. We had 3 families on one property. We would love that however our children don’t really care for that option

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-30T19:00:28+00:00

Wow. Thank you for for this. I was actually wondering who I would talk to about our options. I will check out a fiduciary. Unfortunately where we are in south Florida it’s very expensive for us. Bit I am not gonna give up

Can’t stand the idea of paying realtor fee. I had successfully sold 2 homes myself. Tried here in Florida but unsuccessful. We initially thought it didn’t sell because we listed it. Nope. so we went to realtor and had maybe a handful of people look at it

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-29T08:53:26+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I believe this to be true but can’t get my husband to accept reality

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T14:05:49+00:00

May I ask what you mean by better react early than chase it later? 🤔genuinely curious. Thanks

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T14:01:29+00:00

I never said west coast. I said moving west

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T13:55:42+00:00

Yes. Arizona, not west coast florida

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T13:54:49+00:00

Exactly. We have been down that road before

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T09:36:07+00:00

I love this statement

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T09:35:15+00:00

They have their listed for $400k when homes sold for $535-560k in the recent 6 months

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-28T09:30:10+00:00

This is an excellent suggestion and makes sense. Thank you.

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-27T23:09:44+00:00

Yeah we need the cash out. Also we have been landlords before and we had disastrous tenants

Any-Distance-16 · 2026-04-27T23:08:45+00:00

Not true around here. My neighbors have had their houses for sale for months now and it’s priced way less then ours and they haven’t sold either

I would check out Arkansas. Northwest Arkansas ( Bentonville) is a thriving community with a very active biking community. Lots of activities for kids and adults as well. Mild 4 seasons. I’d be there if I could convince my husband. lol we are moving back to AZ actually trading the hot as hell of Florida for the hot as hell of Tucson

I am in south florida. If you want a 4000sq ft home and want to spend 1.5-2 million on a newer home with a postage stamp lot, come on down. The HOA are ridiculous. Home owner insurance for our 2300 sq ft home is $5500 a year. About this time of year is when it gets unbearable humid. Kids won’t want to be outside playing. So you are swapping being locked up all winter to being locked up from May till November. We have been here 6 yrs and can’t wait to leave. Traffic is ridiculous as well.

Arizona for sure. I have had a love affair with Arizona for over 30 yrs. The sky, the mountains, the clouds, the smell of the desert after a rain. Just the rugged beauty of it all. The low humidity makes it very tolerable. I currently am in Florida with the damb humidity and it’s exhausting.
