Seriously, last time a thread about high rent came up I had the audacity to mention I was happily living in a 2 bedroom townhouse for $600 per month and was downvoted into oblivion and called a hick.

Sorry I offended reddit by daring to think I might be just a little but happier in my sprawling cheap two bedroom apartment than someone paying $4,000 for a single room.

This may be a case of selection bias. Every thread I see is made of lucky bastards who don't have to work in expensive cities.

Ignore this clearly man of a lower class, his peasant squalor cannot even hold a candle next to my medieval French castle in downtown los Angela's. I pay the amount of a small country and have several endangered species on my property along with a pile of Lamborghinis. The nerve of this man, I scoff at your lower class abode. good day

While I was living at home to save some money, I was called "dependent" on my parents by someone who lives be herself in an apartment subsidized by her parent's paying her rent.

I lived in Tennessee for $450 a month for 2 bedroom house with a living room sized attic and AC in Oregon I'm paying $1250 for a 3 bedroom in the nicer part of town (no ac older house) and I'm buying a 4 bedroom for $180000 . Fuck you California and don't move here because we have radon gas.

Yep. I live in Oklahoma, and am finishing up building a 3,100 SF house for just under $212,000. It has high end appliances, Foam insulation, high efficiency windows and HVAC, tornado shelter, wood floors, beams, granite, etc...

My cousin JUST got a job 30 minutes outside San Fransico this week, and is looking for jobs. The place he is looking at costs $2,400/month, and is a little under 600 SF and "isn't that nice".

It's just amazing how much the cost of living changes from place to place.

But some people preface it by saying those people are stupid to pay that much. Nah just different strokes for different folks.

Where do you live (state?) I pay $800 for a one bedroom apartment in Canada...

[–]RickyRooza [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I dream of a two bedroom that doesn't cost $4200 a month just to rent. I would love the midwest

but then again you probably live in a city that isnt super hot on the desirability scale

Well, I'm not knocking you, but people live in NYC, SF and LA for a reason. I love going back to my parent's house for suburban r&r, but the urban food, arts, people, lifestyle, employment options and stimulation is just not worth giving up for me. It's great to have no need for a car, short bike ride to work, and public amenities that make up for not having space in the home I'm usually out of.

That's a correlation/causation fallacy if ever I've seen one. I'm in bike riding distance from everything you listed and I pay under $825 for 2 bdr/1 bath, 800ft2.

I love my suburb, even with its horrible cookie cutter houses.

I'll take my wide open vistas, clean air, plant life, low crime rate, affordable living, and a car to get me anywhere I want to go over the garbage heap that is NYC's night life any day of the week. I have never noted a shortage of restaurants or bars to hang out at in my little city.

And there are millions of us in flyover country that really don't need that kind of constant entertainment, preferring to pay an eighth what y'all do on rent. Different strokes for different folks, but coasties tend to be very defensive of their preferences.

Depends how you look at it. It's a different lifestyle. There are way more opportunities, things to do, better weather, access to many major companies/startups, diversity, food, art, etc

There's a reason it's expensive. You're paying to be around everything that's happening. One can also be happy in a cheap apt in somewhere less desirable. To each their own

I guess if you want to go out every single night, but as for me, I much prefer to spend time relaxing at home creating my own art. When I want to visit a major city it's just a few hours to Boston or Montreal.

Plus you have your moonshine operation to cover costs

Meh, if I really needed the extra income, marajuana is a lot more lucrative and there is plenty of wilderness around to plant a few small patches here or there.

I think you may be missing their point (and vice versa). I live in one of those 1 br apartments that cost 4k and it works very well for me: I don't actually live in my apartment. I am out most of the time, coming home primarily to sleep or browse netflix.

For me, life in one of suburban sprawls makes no sense (just as my life may not make much sense to you).
