This is the major problem that neither political party seems to have anything to say about (let alone a viable plan to deal with it). The party that gets serious about the housing affordability crisis could do very well, but for whatever reason they don't seem to want to focus on this issue.
I was just looking at the reddit for our town yesterday and a guy with a family was posting about how they had been forced out of their rental house recently due to a sale and are now living in motels while trying to find a rental they could afford and qualify for (he'd had an eviction years ago and that was on his record). He said that that having to live in a motel was quickly draining their funds. Seems like this family is just about to be homeless and this is becoming more and more common for middle class people now given the level of rents.
