    Housing prices and unit availability won’t do anything as long as we have automated price fixing software running rampant on our real estate market. Literally the cheapest place I found when I recently searched was $2,000/ month for a 2 bedroom shithole. The student loan crisis was a HUGE contributor to the runaway rental rates in Boston and the surrounding areas. As long as the student loan crisis continues, rents will only go up.
