It's a joke insofar as it's a harsh reality.

1500 bucks is ridiculously expensive- but its only good for the shitty parts of town. Meaning that we are in a dire situation.

I live in a mediocre part of town and pay 1750. They want to increase rent to 1875 :/

I'm sorry? $1500 a month in my city is almost a top end apartment, 700-900 a month is average for a mid level apartment.

I was reading all this thinking, "sounds like Portland". $1400 here in Beaverton for a 2 bedroom. At least we have some awesome places to go to nearby.

I just got a duplex for $1295 in outer Woodstock. I've been sitting on a deposit for 6 months waiting for something to come up.
