Add in the rising cost of gas and one of the lowest housing allowance rates in the nation and we're directly contributing to the daily stressors of life for every member.

The other big driver is going to be the cost of energy and transportation, that impacts a wide range of goods and services.I am very concerned about Europe - they heaviliy depend on Russian gas to run their indurstry and heat their homes.

I put it in my lease that any unpaid bills (in the lease I list cable, phone, internet, trash, gas, water, power, etc) associated with the property will be paid out of the security deposit.

That being said a stablecoin facilitated on the blockchain would mitigate associated fees such as high gas fees commonly associated with the Ethereum network.I hope that this insight is helpful.

I live in an oil and gas economy, which is cyclic by nature.

Quote from @Rene G.: As a self-managing landlord, I tested this with a few of my properties.

Call the local gas and electric companies and ask them what their protocol is for separating both gas and electrical meters.Some companies won't charge you to install multiple electrical and gas meters (and some will). 

Even with minimum wage at 15 to 20 an hour. most they can pay for rent living solo is wht 700 to 800 a month you cant rent pretty much any city on the west cost for that little.. other wise you have monster commute and with gas that does not work and public transportation is not like East cost upper mid west cities where its actually functional.
