I don't think you have anywhere near of a clue how much it cost for housing in the south. Although I am talking mostly about Houston. My mortgage on a 5 bedroom 3 bath house (3k sqfeet) in the population center of Houston is $1500 a month... That being said the most I have ever paid for a apartment was $2100 a month for a 2 bedroom in the riches part of town with views of the city skyline and spiraling biking and jogging ways. Awesome food everywhere. $800 or less and you can still live in a nice area with more food options and awesome public parks and public transpiration. And if you are on a budget -- you can still get 1 bedroom apartments for $500 to $600 a month --- from my understanding you can't even get near that in the Bay Area, you would break the bake at 1k for a single room.
