My problem with the Wolfram/Alpha numbers is they aren't realistic. I'm looking at moving to Chicago or Atlanta or somewhere back on the east coast from Seattle. And that Wolfram page shows that a 2 bed room apartment (not house) in Atlanta is $1012. Where? Duluth? Buford? Snellville? Or to the South? If you compare like neighborhoods (Belltown in Seattle to Midtown of Atlanta), rents are usually very close to each other (within a $100 from what I've found). But recruiters are fixated on the "It's so much cheaper".
- criley2 12y ago2 bedroom apartment in Atlanta is ridiculously easy to find, especially if you live ITP like 95% of all Atlantans. (ATL Metro population: ~5 million. ATL City population: ~500k). I rented a 1700sq ft, 2 bed room, 2.5 bathroom, 2 story townhouse a 25 minute drive from Downtown Atlanta for $850/mo, and it had some luxury and I could have easily found lower prices than that moving a little further out (longer commute) or lowering the size/luxury.
