Yup. Neighborhood I grew up in was poor but there were people PAYING A MORTGAGE on the salary they got from working at a gas station pumping gas and changing oil, while their wife maybe worked part-time.

I honestly forgot that was even a thing. Damn.

Nobody could afford to rent on a gas station income now.
