Rent wouldn't be so high if the government would keep its big nose out of the housing market. They prop up home prices and people can no longer afford to buy a starter home or apartment which drives the rental demand up and corresponding prices. Everywhere the government gets involved, there are problems. Look at the student debt bubble created from guaranteed government loans.
