the one I'm in now is ideal price wise short term but i'm basically living in a large closet, each room is small, this one basically only has room for my bed

 

problem is we can barely afford this for $700 a month so I don't see how we could afford something better, since all the better apartments in MD are a couple thousand

 

in fact this is the first apartment we've lived in that we actually CAN afford to pay the rent on time

They got places under a grand where you’re at? 🙀

 

housing is tough everywhere. Very expensive. I blame transplants from other states 😬

currently we're renting a "house for rent" type situation where we're renting from a private owner and it's basically an old house that's been converted into apartments which is most likely why it's so cheap

the neighborhood it's in is.....okay

it's basically the mid-point between a gentrified area and one of the falling apart Ghettos of the city (which is basically what all of MD is like, pockets of Gentrification surrounded by ruins)

which to be fair even when we were paying $1000 for rent at our last place we lived in the same kind of area

Huge apartments used to be very cheap.  Then, government happened.  It went from enforcing sensible health and safety regulations to spreading like wildfire into requiring all sorts of frivolous luxury that drives up prices.

I had a huge 2 bedroom apartment for $575 after a student discount. Gotta love SC.

What did you do with the other bedroom?

I’m going to take a stab in the dark and guess that Baltimore is totally they way you described. Pockets of gentrification surrounded by poorer neighborhoods. 

NYC was like this. Now it’s almost completely gentrified. You can rent a closet for 3,300 a month. No apartment here is under a grand. Maybe you can rent a room for that price but that’s about it.

Shit. I feel fortunate. Mine is $480 a month.

But then again, I live in West Virginia, where nobody can afford shit unless they know a trade or happen to be a doctor. Housing costs are rough.

I pay $300 for a 900 sq ft apartment in an increasingly dilapidated mansion that I can never leave because even for Appalachia it's a too good to be true situation 

That's the aspiration for us these days, not buying a house but finding a cheap rental suitable for longterm living
