minus-squareClimateChangeAnxiety [he/him, they/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·1 day ago Nearly half of all renter households spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs, qualifying them as “cost-burdened” I’m curious who the fuck the other half are. I don’t know anyone who rents who spends less than 30% of their income on housing.
