In Eugene-Springfield, it now takes nearly two full-time minimum-wage jobs just to afford a basic two-bedroom apartment. With rents up 7% from last year and a severe housing shortage, even a studio is out of reach for many working residents. Local tenant advocates warn that recent state budget cuts are making it even harder for renters to get help, while landlords say rising costs leave them with little choice but to raise rents. The city is pushing for more housing, but many worry new developments aren’t truly affordable. How are these changes affecting your housing situation or plans? #Safety #Eugene #HousingCrisis
