I know we have this problem in Collier Co about rising rents and lack of affordable housing in general. 

Here is the poll:

A new poll conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Enterprise Community Partners finds that 21 percent of respondents had to cut back their spending to make their rent or mortgage, or that they were unable to pay their rent or mortgage over the past year. Of those respondents who were unable to pay for their housing, more than half cut back spending on their groceries (57 percent) and/or clothing (54 percent).
