I can’t afford the apartments I work at.

I’m a leasing consultsnr, not a real estate agent. Huge difference as leasing consultants make $15-$18 in my area with a crumb of commission. I work at a luxury apartment community (this is my third). I constantly get asked on tours if I live at the community. I used to give a long-winded response or a lie, but now I just say “no, I’m poor.” Our income requirement is 3x the rent in monthly gross income. I cannot afford an apartment, even with the “huge” 20% off discount my company offers. Genuinely, how hard would it be just to house those in the communities they work for because it’s beneficial for everyone? So annoying.
