You can’t blame “rent gouging” without blaming the government for condoning it and setting up the conditions that encourage it.
The cost of living in blue states is absolutely due to city/state level Democrats. Democrats write the zoning laws. Democrats decide the tax laws. Democrats build the infrastructure and public transportation. Democrats also vote down rent control and affordable housing requirements.
Red states are controlled by rich Republicans. Blue states are controlled by rich Democrats. Sure, Republican rule makes Oklahoma the shit hole that it is. But don’t try to give Democrats a pass for making Massachusetts as expensive as it is.

No, it’s from rental agencies that do as they please out of greed. They don’t condition anything, they just don’t do anything about it.
Even after ignoring everything I said, you still admit I’m right. If the local government doesn’t do anything about it, who is supposed to?
Sure bud.
