The reason rent and housing is so high... the cost of living for that matter is due in part by Katrina... In many cases insurances have quadrupled and in many case more. I use to pay $500 dollars a year for insurance on my place it is now just under $4000. Landlords have had to make up for this outrageous increase. Every building on the coast has had to compensate for increase in one way or another. You can not absorb these cost and have to pass them on. You have these costs plus the costs that were not covered by insurances... lost business, just any number of things... The recession... local, state, and federal increases are all added on.
I will admit that wages in Mississippi are low, but that is the way it goes. If you can't not live here it is time to move on... really you only have two choices.
