Getting Renovicted.

That's the big secret that I’ve been loosely mentioning on here.

My hometown is no longer affordable. Starter homes beginning at 500 thousand+, million dollar broken down homes. Cannot rent anything cheaper than $2100 per month and that's for one bedroom nonsense. It's more expensive here than Miami or New York city.

I. Am. Terrified.

I have two kids that need to be near a good school, and a million other requirements that these rich investors don't take into consideration. The people who are selling my house, own a couple more houses. It's just money to them. Meanwhile it was my home for my kids.

Yes I've contacted the tenant board and will follow the paperwork trail to keep my rights as a tenant during this shit process.

My senior dog knows I'm so stressed, and he's feeding off that and seems sick. I know I have to be calm and collected and figure things out somehow. Find a place magically with enough rooms in my budget near a good school and walking distance to groceries and all that.

Oh and nevermind all the costs to move lol.

This happened at the worst of times and I don't see a silver lining yet. There's no affordable houses.

So I'm starting to sell off a chunk of my Transformer original art. Every sale goes to the moving fund.

This is just the start. As I find more art to sell, I'll post more. There is some I won't post to Etsy but I will sell privately. I need every penny & I'll take prayers or well wishes too.

Let’s all chant, Ness needs a good affordable house! (Just like thousands of other low income families need this right now living in Canada as well. We need a rent reform, we need control on these foreign investors and to make use of these empty properties everywhere.)

Big sigh. So my commissions are on hold until I'm in a new place.

Life usually works out ok. I used to say that with certainty, and then the Palestinian genocide started. Now my faith waivers, I don't trust the people in power.

I hope like hell it works out for us.
