Kansas City Star Notices Rising Rents

Newsflash . . . The local cost of living keeps on rising, local housing is a hot mess and "free money" economics from the current administration spark a great many unintended consequences.

"With a 33.5% year-over-year increase in the average rental price for a one-bedroom apartment, Kansas City experienced the biggest rise in the country over the past year."

More overpriced info here for subscribers . . .

Once a haven from KC's frenzied home market, apartments begin to fill up, raise prices

At one point, Westley on Broadway Apartments offered to cut rent by half for six months in an effort to induce people to sign leases at the new Westport complex. In the height of the pandemic, that sort of offer was a comfort to renters who were hesitant to move and worried about potential layoffs or furloughs.

  5. Wow, you mean printing $5 trillion US dollars in the past 12 months devalues the dollar and causes inflation. Who could have ever predicted?

  6. Or passing a tax reduction that only benefited corporations and the 1%, would blow a $1.8 trillion dollar hole in our deficit like every single republican administration has ever done before? You mean like that CHUD? Or did you lean like starting another endless war that wastes Trillions of dollars and countless lives every year like every single republican administration has done before. Which one of those did you mean grammy?

    1. Dr. Chimpy, are you going to branch out into economics now? Great! Then why does President Houseplant insist on continuing to pay people to do nothing, resulting in the worst miss in a jobs report ever? Hint: Even the national chamber of commerce is begging the old racist to reconsider.

      But, to be fair, even a Chimp like you is probably smarter than President Silver Alert at this point.

      Let's go with monkey science! Can't wait!! Lolol

  7. What did the Red Star think would happen when a lefty, lib administration started printing money 24/7??????????

    The cost of new home construction is up around $35,000. Many commodities are thru the roof. Paper product, lumber, chlorine, oil ad nauseum.

    Get your wheelbarrows ready to fill with monopoly bucks to go grocery shopping.

    Thanks Dementia Joe and friends.

  10. LOL at 1:26. I bet I have more money in my checking account than you have in your 401k. Let's check the score in 6 months. By then the foreclosure/eviction moratoriums will have ended and you'll be posting from a tent outside city hall.
