for sure i exaggerate. but still: look at hemingway, for example. he could work and live in new orleans, easily, with plenty of time left over to write.

- ghaff 10y agoNew Orleans isn't the best example. Costs have gone back up somewhat post-Katrina but 1BR rents are still close to $1K/month depending on location. New Orleans isn't a particularly expensive city, especially outside a few premium uptown locations.
- dilap 10y ago$1K a month is still essentially 100% of your income at minimum wage. But yeah, it's not as crazy as SF for sure.
