Editor's note: This article was originally published on March 10, 2023. It has since been updated. It is no surprise to anyone that property and rent rates are skyrocketing and without a doubt, people are suffering through a cost of living crisis. In such difficult circumstances, there are still people and landlords who are doing everything they can to extort money from their tenants, no matter their current situation. Similarly, Raul Bolufe, a TikTok user with the handle @therealraulbolufe, has taken an extreme measure in his series of videos. He has recorded his phone conversations with a tenant to inform her that he intends to more than double her monthly rent.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

JD Vance said migrants are the reason it's so expensive to rent or buy homes. He's wrong.

The cost of living has been increasing and everything from electricity to restaurant food has become expensive.
