tell us, trevor. >> i know a lot of people are thinking everything is a little more expensive. the truth is that rising housing costs are the driver of inflation. we're starting to see that all across the country. the reason is there's not enough housing. there's a shortage. we have a lot more people entering the market, young people and the cost of buying a house has gone up a whole lot. all across the country the national median rent for a two bedroom has climbed 16% in places like miami and new orleans. even tampa, florida, chandler, arizona, they've climbed up into the most expensive cities. >> folks will tell you how much you're supposed to spend on rnt. what's the reality? >> 30% of your take-home income after taxes. that's what my parents told me. a lot of people hear that and laugh about it.
