They're not stuck as in "there are no other options", they're stuck as in "there are cheaper, crappier options but we'd have to pack up our entire lives and deal with the other expenses/headaches that come with moving so I guess we might as well just suffer with the increase". 

@Jorge Caceres  too bad that can be expensive.

I grew up near San Francisco and moved to Reno, NV to live and house hack. 

I live in the Washington DC area, and I would love to connect with anyone willing to. 

In today's climate where expense growth is exceeding rent growth, it's critical to have this dialed in and solve problems before they mature into gaping performance gaps in apartment operations.
