LV is particularly vulnerable because so much of it's economy is built on travel/gaming.

@Megan Greathouse this was such and inspiring and vulnerable post.  

I was very vulnerable when I was a rookie; It's pretty much a money making scheme for them!

The more tenant friendly a city becomes, the more incentive it provides for landlords to not take a chance on vulnerable tenants and leave them for other landlords who know how to play the game and are willing to play games that harm vulnerable tenants more.

“There is a complicated dynamic in Sacramento between escalating prices and tenants feeling vulnerable. … What I heard at the town hall was a lot about the problems with NIMBY-ism, but it’s a little more complicated than that.

You are already stretching your budget and making yourself vulnerable to civil liabilities.

Or sub prime blow ups... landlords are very vulnerable to losing their properties and the bankers know it.

I was going to go to one of the Rich Dad seminars for Real Estate Investing just last month until I really learned more about what they are about and how their true business is preying of off those who are eager, in-experienced, and oftentimes vulnerable.

More cost effective, if someone time consuming, would be to change the most vulnerable pipe to high pressure PEX; I've seen demonstrations of PEX expanded absurdly beyond its size, with pressure and temperature, before busting.

Of course, that leaves you vulnerable at anytime to become homeless.
