Nearly every time the lib media does this they are talking about someone who lives with a roommate, or one half of a couple (sometimes where the couple even has a roommate) lmao
I used to rent an ok place in Ohio (not a major city) for <$600, had a one bedroom to myself. I couldn't drink the water but otherwise I didn't have any issues. In a cheaper major city (certainly not NYC or SF) it's doable but you'll have roommates, not enough bathrooms, and possibly not enough bedrooms.
haha, i guess we'll just have to snuggle, because capitalism says money is for rich people. grr those darn capitalists making me so angry, i never even wanted all this physical intimacy haha
uwu
preedit edit: thats actually awful tho. people living like sardines because all hail the money line
any completely nonsensical excess of late stage capitalism you could imagine is without fail a feature-not-a-bug of the way the country is run. yet the realities of it are constantly evolving to be ever more grotesque.
it truly boggles the mind.
:amerikkka:
such a waste of a beautiful landscape tho, for real
It's realistic in some smaller cities, but even in those cities it's on the cheap side. Like in the place I'm thinking of, these cheaper apartments would commonly have roach infestations or the fire alarms wouldn't work, etc. $800/month could get you something reasonable though. The average rent in the US is over $1400 though.
$600 mortgage/rent. Is this per week or something??

It's important to point out why "get a roommate" isn't just sound financial advice:
You can do it, but it opens the door to a bunch of different types of risk that you accept in exchange for being able to scrape by.
Yeah, much better advice is this: inherit money, buy a duplex, and rent out the other half!!!!
Kind of like having a roommate but they are legally liable to pay you their half!!!!!
When you're working 80 hours a week, who even needs rents? Just sleep under your workspace.
Workspace? You mean...my foyer?

Everything i hear about the us sounds legitimately awful. Except the nature, that sounds cool.
it is, unironically, a caricature of itself.

We have some amazing open spaces to wander in.
