We never talk about how much what is acceptable to pay for housing. In other words we should talk about what are acceptable rents (should simple studios be $750 a month, 2 bedrooms, $1,500, 3 bedrooms $2,000) and anything above that should be justified. There are apartments in some of the most poverty stricken areas of South LA that are asking for $2000 for studios. How are we regulating rent costs and not letting the market make housing inaccessible to most residents.
