"The report found that rents and median home prices in Springfield rose twice as fast as median household incomes..."

I'm very irritated with all four of you right now. I work a full-time job, plus overtime, I earn more than Oregon's minimum wage, and I don't live in a fancy apartment, yet my rent represents more than a third of my gross income. Did any of you even bother to read the story? I have coworkers who couch-surf with relatives, who are on housing waiting lists, because adults with jobs can't get into apartments, let alone buy homes. If my husband dies or becomes incapacitated, I might be homeless too. We don't deserve your disrespect.
