So you hate people that get handouts? You must hate a lot of people.
Is the state of Iowa working on housing at all?

Yeah, as someone with a "less is more" approach to life, I'd love to fall back into the 50s on the whole housing thing.
Kim Jong Reynolds is working hard on housing for multimillionaire Republican donors and doing it quite well.
But you have Runza AND Valentino’s. So at least there is that. And a better drive to Estes Park.
I don't really care for Runza. I think I've had it twice in the few years I've lived here. One of my close friend's father runs a Valentino's franchise location. At her wedding, they brought in like 40 pizzas at 9:30 when we were all drunk and dancing. It was awesome.
There was a story on NPR recently about Minneapolis simplifying and dropping a lot of previous zoning requirements for new residential construction in particular multi residential buildings and they are expanding housing quicker than most other cities in the country. The result is that rental rates there have been flat for the last five years or so.
This. ^^ Cities and counties set local zoning regulations, not the state.
This came to me in a dream - have you had the bootstraps talk with your coworker? You could tell her a generation of folks, rather than venting to their coworkers, they went out and got a second job. When that still didn't cover the nut, they got a third job. They lived in a shoddy apartment and used a card table as the kitchen table. They didn't have your fancy smartphones and sports cars and beach trips with the squad, no venti latte's and no winery tours. They persevered and grinded. Let us know how it goes!
I don't think she's doing poorly financially. Just a ridiculous rent for a 2br apartment.This came to me in a dream - have you had the bootstraps talk with your coworker?

Housing in northeast Iowa is cheaper but I highly doubt you bought a house completely remodeled for 48 grand. Even if the house was only a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and tiny living room.

It has a 2 car garage and 48 grand was normal in a town of 500 people in 2003
