It is NOT a lie, and the rent of my own apartment that I was living in in 2020 was $600/month. (Oakwood Apartments, 1104 E 140th Ave,
Tampa,
FL 33613) I moved out when the rent went to $850. It is now $1600/month for a renovated apartment (a 167% increase) $1200/mo non-renovated. Before Biden came in, the rent increases were $25/year.
You still (Sept.18, 2024) don't know that Biden brought about the " high grocery or gas prices" by his actions of cancelling oil leases/drilling in Alaska & the Gulf of Mexico ? (by EO on his first day in office) Jeez.
OK. Let's go through it again for all the UNenlightens, starving for knowledge. When you cut supply, demand & prices go up (basic economics). Oil production plummeted in Feb. 2021. the
NOSEDIVE oil production took between Trump's last month
(344 MILLION BARRELS MONTH), and Biden's first month (
277 MBM) when he issued an EO to halt oil drilling.
A DROP of a whopping 67 MB/mo.
So the gas prices went up. They were $1.89.gallon when Trump left office. They are still now $3.45-4.78 in 11 states. $3.18-$3.45 in 12 more states. Even if we take the lowest ($3.18) of these, that is still a 62% inflation, relative to the $1.89/gal we all saw all over the country in Jan. 2021.
AAA Gas Prices
The rent that was $750/mo and is now $2000, is that of a friend of mine, but it is also the case for thousands of renters all over the country. This is absolutely
common. Have you been living in closet for the last 4 years ? You are ignorant, and it's probably due to watching CNN, MSNBC et al disgraceful leftwing
OMISSION media.
And guess what drove these rents up so high and so fast ? Biden flying thousands of illegal aliens into US cities and saturating their rental housing markets. Liberals don't know anything.
