Florida Matters “Affordable Renting” (September 15th, 2006)

|

 With real estate prices at an all time high, the prospect of owning a home is nearly unimaginable for many Floridians. Now some lower income workers are having trouble finding housing to rent. Faced with rising taxes, insurance and other costs, landlords are passing the financial burden along to renters.
On this week’s Florida Matters, WUSF’s Carson Cooper discusses the issue of affordable renting with tenants, landlords and housing experts.

Affordable Housing has become a problem nationwide. In some communities, like the San Francisco Bay area, families are leaving city centers where the cost of housing is rising sharply. These families are moving to the suburbs, and those who leave the city say the change is splitting up tightly knit communities.
