renting

ok i would really like to stress my opinion about these OUTRAGIOUS and REDICULOUS monthly cost on places to live in waukesha, wi. How is anybody suppose to afford to live with the cost of living out here! and then on top of it being so freaking exspensive, you have to pay your own utilities. Another thing, if im going to pay 800.00 a month for a dam apartment it better look the part. what is wrong with these places looking like they havent been cleanded or changed new carpet or flooring in years!! for crying out loud they still have a stove, fridge, and cabinets from the 1900's in there! and you ALL know what im talking about too. I am furious with the prices and the up keep of places around here. PLEASE somebody , this needs to be changed! What is it that we are really paying for??????
