The prices some people are charging to rent a room in a house share is crazy. Some are $300 a week. I can get a whole damn house for that price.

As they say in the real estate business, "location, location, location". I've heard of rents and housing prices that are quite outrageous. Around here when parents pass on their children are shocked to find out what those homes are worth here. I'm always hear "Back home that house would sell for twice or three times that!".
