I’m paying $1600 for a 3 bed in one of chicagos hottest neighborhoods. The trick is density, Chicago is made up of 3/4 flats and apartment blocks with solid public transport, so supply meets demand at a reasonable price. Of course the shitty weather and corruption helps lower demand too, but I’d say $600 a month housing cost is worth it.
- samstave 4y agoAnd you have a yard? A parking spot? A walkable food thing? A friend networks whereby you loan tools? Rent Tools? A network of people who will help you when down/sick/hurt/displaced? You're paying for an accentuated CELL in urban hell. Just because you have a "dope spot to show how urban your display is" You dont have shit. Cut off all your power, access to food stuffs, equipment, necessities (pwr, wtr, fd, transport) Yeah, you have a death-trap.

- samstave 4y ago>* so supply meets demand at a reasonable price* You have no idea of what "price" means. `I killed your mother in front of you because she was attempting to stop your father from doing X... but at what PRICE?` Put a price on your [everything]
