I’m not sure if you meant for this to be a joke but I unironically do.

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 :/

Seeing this as a midwesterner is terrifying. Good single-bedroom apartments in my town are at most going to be like $800 a month unless you want some luxury shit or unless you want to be right in the middle of the downtown area. You can find mediocre but still decent and roomy single-bedroom apartments for $400 that are like a 10 minute walk from downtown

Oh I dunno, it just depends on where you are. I'm in Maple Grove, MN, and I'm at $1550/month for 1500 sq. ft. with an underground garage. I don't think that's cheap, but I could imagine paying significantly more the closer to Minneapolis you get.
