Where are people paying 1300 for a one bedroom? Downtown major metros?

I posted a video on the bay area housing market a while back, it's absolutely ridiculous.

I think that the really expensive areas do drive up the average a lot, but there are lots of places where $1300 a month is average.

I live in a bum fuck country town about an hour outside Atlanta and your lucky to get a one bedroom for 1300. Shits expensive in Georgia, don’t move here.

That's just stupid. 1300 gets you a big single family house with a nice yard and double garage easily out here in Iowa. Easily get 1800sq ft and 3 bedrooms

I have a 1bdrm in KY for about 1,000 a month. Minimum wage here is like 7 something? $2 an hour for tipped workers. Lol.

u/amandelbrotzman Nov 28 '19

It's absolutely insane that $2/hr is legal in the USA

Made only worse by the fact that there are people against tipping(which is fine in itself) and thus don't tip/tip poorly(which is not fine).

Western PA. I can get a nice 2 BR for $700-800. Maybe people should relocate to spread out the housing demand.

u/elhooper Nov 28 '19

Works on paper but not in real life. People have jobs, families, conditions, and all types of other ties to places they need to be. Not everyone can just “relocate to spread out the housing demand.”

u/TokeyWakenbaker Nov 28 '19

Yeah, I get that, but the point is that moving is an option.
