A hard time emotionally with my son and sister today. I don't think they quite get why I might need to move. It is hard when you're not in someone else's financial situation. It may also be hard to understand the concerns of someone not wanting to go down a route that could lead to a desperate life when you don't have those same concerns.

My sister and son live close by and so it is not without some pain that Florida's catastrophic rent increases force a move farther away. I will be grateful, however, to find a dwelling where there is safety and an air conditioner.

A Florida city in my sites as my next place of residence is Gainesville. Housing is fairly reasonable if you don't mind a tiny dwelling. I've lived there before when I was married and my son was little. I wonder if I can live there without being too affected by memories of my then-difficult-marriage. On a positive note, there used to be an anarchist library and a great used bookstore and cafe where an active writers' critique group met. #Gainesville #Housing #FloridaRent #RentIncrease

My son’s rent has been raised $300 from last year. He’s part of the working poor. They raised it because they can. They are still cheaper than most. $1700 a month for a 2 bedroom apt where the water is turned off without notice due to constant water issues and two murders in six months.
