Because people no know that is is cheaper to rent than to own a home. The insurance, taxes, expenses, mortgage rates, etc. to own are all too high now.

This country has gone to hell!

This will affect Lake Worth a lot. We have too many immigrants and poor people migrating here. Buying is cheaper than renting, anony above and what will and is happening in Lake Worth is these people don't have the money to afford a down payment or have the credit to own. They are caught between a rock and you know what as their landlords keep raising the rent. slumlords are3 making out like bandits.
