Why Rent Is So High

Renting a home in a big city can be costly.

Many people wonder why the price is so high.

Land in the city is limited and hard to find.

Millions of people all want a place to live.

More buyers mean landlords can charge more money.

Buildings near jobs and subways cost even more.

New apartments often come with a high price tag.

Owners raise rent when a neighborhood becomes popular.

Some cities build too few new homes each year.

High demand keeps pushing prices further up.

This makes finding cheap rent a real challenge.

Many renters must search hard to find a fair price.
