I make $100,000 a year and my rent is $10,000 per year, I can't imagine earning so much and spending over 1/3rd on rent out of necessity instead of choice. The new place I'm renting (starting next month) will bring my rent up to around $2,800 a month but it's a choice and an incredible place, being forced to spend so much on so little must sting a lot, especially when $100,000 year income is considered well off everywhere else. I'll be living like a king in my new place.

Personally I was not crazy about it, so I took the opportunity to move to my company's London office where things are even more expensive. It's all choices though. I doubt you could name a city that I'd be willing to live in where you could get a decent apartment for $800/month.
