I moved into a rehearsal space in a warehouse in cleveland for $165/month. A 12x7 room with a heavy deadbolt, alarm, heat, wifi, parking for my car, security cameras everywhere, and a bathroom down the hall. There were like 100 rehearsal spaces. I was in the death metal section in Hell Battery's old room. They moved to a bigger one. There were at least 4 other ppl using the rehearsal spaces to live in. One guy was an artist who did drawings and paintings. Another guy who lived there had tons of weed and would let anyone smoke w/him but he was scary af and had powder burns on his eyelids from when his wife tried to blow his head off. Apparently her thumb got blown off in the struggle too. He had so many stories that involved him shooting at someone. Anyway, the cool thing about it was you legally got residency there so you could get mail and be in the building 24/7/365 if you really wanted. And the internet was insanely fast bc they had a business line which I pretty much had to myself since it was kinda before everyone would be using smartphones w/wifi. I had my car, my cam, clothes, makeup, and laptop, and I got a membership at a gym 1/2 hour away for $20/month where I would go to shower or just work out bc bored. So like all the basic living essentials for $185/month. The real major downside was the noise w/all the death metal bands in the adjacent rooms. One on either party wall, and 2 out of 3 across the hall were death metal. Tons of other rock/punk/metal bands down the entire hallway too. They're not like soundproof recording studios either, it's just walls. It was so loud by 11pm every night even during the week. It felt like some strange combination of prison, college, and homelessness.
