To sum up: You are paying less than the average rent in a city where the average rent is lower than 40% of the rest of the country and lying about the average wage in order to make it look like this is normal.
It took a very small amount of my time to look this up.
You pay $500 less than the average American for rent. I think you may be lacking the perspective necessary to engage productively with this topic.
My rent is $500 less than whatever metric you’re using, but our local ecconomy is also lowers than yours.
Average wage here is 10/hr for a factory job. I’ve heard some places like Seattle make $20/hr just working at starbucks.
And keep in mind my rent is basically 1 room.
The problem with lying about things on the internet is that people can check.
