I enjoyed my time living in the Boston area....in a college dormitory! Even back then, the cost of living in "real" Boston was crazy. I still love that city, but I cannot imagine living there!

Housing costs are out of control these days. It’s especially bad in wealthy, high-demand places like Boston, NYC, and California. I’m in the Bay Area and an average studio in my town is at least $2800 a month. In my county if you make less than $120K a year you’re considered “low income”.

I was able to buy a house 3 years ago with a mortgage that was cheaper than the renewal rental in my apartment. An apartment that had to be treated twice for black mold caused by the until above leaking water. I'm in NC and it's crazy

I go to Boston regularly for business. Its wayyyy too big and busy for me. I guess im not a city boy 🤷

Either pay the rent and live where you want to work or live your life, or pay half the rent but then pay the equivalent to your savings in commuting cost plus the time factor for commuting, the latter of which must have a cost-factor associated with it, even if your time is worth minimum wage.

What I've learned is, if you want to live right downtown where the action is and where your job is located and you can walk to either within 15 minutes of your apartment, take the apartment and pay the rent they want because commuting is more expensive than anything cheaper you can rent which requires a car to get to where you need to be.

I've heard it called The People's Republic of Taxachusetts.

Everything is crazy these days partly because of Biden's import of illegals and paying all their expenses for them drives everything up for everyone unfairly .. it’s insane 😏 liberals will deny this but what do they know?

Is that all? Studio apartments in the city of Toronto rent from between $3.00 and $6.00 per square foot, depending on the location. A studio apartment that's about 500 square feet would rent from between $1500 and $3000 per month.

Housing and rent prices are insane these days. Something drastic needs to be done about it but the rich are getting to rich off of it for that

I’m in a studio paying 1457 in MA; it is ridiculous

Jesus tap-dancing Christ on a cracker! $3,000 for a STUDIO?!? Those people are raking it in!
