Paris is expensive, but I've rented studio apartments here in Grenoble, France, for about 450eur, yes.
Given, Grenoble is nothing of not a small town compared to Paris. But those apartments were also in the very heart of the city, one was directly at the river with a panorama view of the alps.
edit
since these details matter here: two apartments in question. One was a 1R without, the other a Studio with amazing view.
Both were very pleasant, central, and I could have found cheaper had I been willing to not have them that central.
/edit
So yeah there are much cheaper places than the US. German rents tend to be cheaper still, with higher wages.
That all being said, calling out the people at the very bottom for their lavish lifestyles / demands seems a bit disconnected from the economic realities at the moment...
- worik 6y ago"calling out the people at the very bottom for their lavish lifestyles / demands" A room of one's own is a lavish demand? Yes.
- black_puppydog 6y agoI'm sorry if my position didn't come across clearly. My position is that a 1R is by no means lavish. It should be a matter of common decency that someone working full time should feel entitled to be able to afford one, at least for rent.

- rayiner 6y agoBut what is the average price for a 1BR in Grenoble? Because that’s what the study is looking at, not a cheap price for a studio. In Huntsville you can find a nice studio downtown for $500 or so.
- user5994461 6y agoFor 400-450 you get a studio (think less than 25 sqm 270 sqft ). Typical student accommodation. That's absolutely not what US/UK call a 1 bedroom. A one bedroom is about 600€ a month.
