I have a cousin who lives in LA. He rents a studio for something like $1100 a month, in a decent part of the city. Apparently it’s rent-controlled, which is something I’ve never heard of as far as Los Angeles is concerned.
To be honest, I heard of all this through his mother. I kind of suspect he’s lying to her and is actually a drug dealer and his place costs a lot more than he’s letting on.
He’s a drug dealer. There’s nothing in LA for anything near $1100 lol. $3k is the minimum for a 2 bedroom place absolute minimum.
is it not possible to move to a place with houses which are lower in price?
not for a lot of people when every single fuckface ceo is trying to get people to RTO.

man… i remember paying 800 a month for a studio in the bay area in 2006. And that studio was right on the water with an ocean view. $3200 is absolutely disgusting.
