I'm really starting to think moving here was a massive mistake. Moving

It was this, Huston Texas or north Carolina. I was just so sick and tired of living in a poverty state (WV) and wanted to make way more money.

Now I'm making 3600 a month, but the housing market is so competitive and high market I might as well be making 1200 back in the mountain state.

It's a complete god damn nightmare, currently staying in a motel that's costing me 2000$ a month just because I can't get in anywhere no matter how hard I try or applications I fill.

Applications which all have 50-80$ background checks. I've spent will over 1000$ in less than a month filling out those things.

Huston has a population of over 2.7 MILLION, and you can get a place there for just 600 a month still.

Where did it all go wrong here?

Uh, nah. Commenting increases visibility, and this comment was important for OP to see. Bad bot.

You're not a math wizard Harry! Go on. Look at what the default sort is.

I mean, the more people who comment on this, the more visible it becomes to others who are scrolling by, because it lengthens the conversation and makes it more enticing and appealing to folks who are scrolling. Thus increasing the chance of further upvotes. I don’t mean more comments bump it to the top, just that more comments generate more interest because it looks like a real discussion within the original discussion. Not sure what math has to do with it though, but you’re right, I’m very bad at that.

If you want it to be higher up for people scrolling you upvote the poster. Not reply without any added information. Chains like that get lost when the first couple are junk and someone has to click continue.

Omg you must be bored. Have you considered a hobby other than trolling Reddit all day?

Actually I'm just trying to help fellow redditors have their comments viewed. This is all off topic anyway. I didn't mean to offend. Just trying to help.
