DFW peeps, how much do you pay for rent?

Since everyone is passive-aggressively beating around the bush, and not telling you what you're ignorant on. Normally, people put in this position cannot afford their house, period. They have put everything into this house, and are proud if it, thinking they finally made it on their small income. Now, with the gentrification of the neighborhood, their value of their house has increased. Yay! Right? No, their income might not have increased, they might have more financial responsibilies now than when they first purchased the house. Now, the taxes have increased, and they cannot pay, maybe they get behind, maybe THEIR HOUSE they thought they could have forever, is now "worth" too much for them to afford. They have to try to sell in order to just stay afloat, or face foreclosure due to the price of the mortgage plus increased price of the taxes. Their "equity" gets pieced out to whoever they still owe money to for their house, if they're lucky, they will still hold a small portion of thier "equity". But now what can they do with that? They could only afford thier small payments on the 50k house. Before the gentrification. Now, every house is priced at a minimum of 180k. Even if they got every penny of the original equity back, they still can't really afford a house. Now they are stuck renting until, or if, they can increase thier income. This magic, "sell you have equity in your house!" Doesn't include the actual events of a struggling person or family. And you're excluding the fact that they can't afford the tax increase, how can they afford another house with the increased price of every house?
