The housing market in Sacramento is currently producing increasingly high values. On paper, this sounds good for homeowners. However, for those without support, this increase in housing price makes life increasingly difficult for those without support. Rents are extremely costly for those with low income levels, compacted with the near unfathomably high requirements for teenagers leaving home at 18.
Credit scores, monthly income, services, and basic rent are all very tough opponents to overcome. Most parents wouldn’t trust their children with a credit card, and only having time for part time jobs during school makes it difficult to find a satisfactory income with one job to meet the qualifications. Sure, some houses do not require all of these prerequisites. However, rent is still extremely high in Sacramento. Buying a house itself is not even possible without having a huge sum of money saved, and even then it would cost so much more than most would be willing.
Seniors, and some juniors that may be leaving their homes due to getting kicked out, or leaving of their own volition, will find it very hard to pay for somewhere to live by themselves. The possible solutions to these problems are not the best solutions, but the options are limited.
Some potential options could be combining incomes with friends or moving out of state to somewhere rents are lower.
This is an unfortunate predicament some students are in, and having little known help or being too guilt ridden to seek help makes matter much worse. An overall solution to the housing market increasing to extraordinarily high prices could be to purposefully lower the property values of the city, but to a reasonable degree. However, this does not condone illegal activities such as vandalism even for the greater good.
