PHILADELPHIA - PennZone -- With housing costs rising by over 6% nationwide in 2024 and rent prices in major cities exceeding $2,000/month, Americans are feeling the financial squeeze. In response, Slotozilla has launched a groundbreaking interactive analytical tool designed to help users identify where they can afford to live—based on their actual income and lifestyle needs.
