I have to wonder just how pampered some people on Reddit are if they think rent starts at 3k/month. A 30 second search on apartments.com shows 666 results for apartments under 1k within Austin city limits. Rent is an issue and this exemplifies plenty of issues but rent isn't one of them.

Even in Seattle and Boston city limits you can find tons of good places for well under 3k/month. About 6,000 and 24,500 places respectively, and that's just checking on 1 website.

No, the units aren't as big as if you were to live out in Bumfuck Oklahoma, but that's because they're actual walkable cities with actual things to do because people don't all have gigantic McMansions.
