The affordable housing situation right now is desperate.

I just listed an apartment on Friday. It's in a "D" neighborhood. It's my first turnover in over 3 years (39 months) in these buildings (2 side-by-side quads). I  had **13** solid, completed applications (not just vague inquiries).

This is a clean,  very basic apartment...

I feel really bad for people looking now around here... I had 2 people with long term jobs submit applications both saying their buildings were recently sold and they'll be homeless if they can't find anything in a month or so. both said they've submitted many, many applications and heard crickets. It's been a while but I sure didn't have this kind of response when I last rented one of these apartments. In addition to actual applications I had many, many inquiries from people that sound so desperate . It's really heartbreaking.
