Housing story

I spent three years in the living room of a shared apartment and commuting three hours a day to have affordable rent. I spent a year living as a nomad to save on housing costs. Now, I consider myself lucky to have found an apartment with an unreliable refrigerator, leaking tub, and unresponsive landlord. I want housing abundance to give power back to renters and aspiring first-time homeowners!
