I want to leave the PNW because of how much it costs, then I look at the political climate anywhere cheaper and decide that $2.5k/month is acceptable for renting a 1br
It’s really not acceptable, there shouldn’t be that trade off. There is, right now, but we need to take our power back and hold elected accountable. The number of people who have battered voter syndrome that would absolutely be un-understanding with zero compassion for battered partners being in that mindset is astounding. They victim blame the partner with less power in a relationship, especially when there are a few kids involved, but they keep the rest of us ~340.5 million trapped in an abusive relationship some of us want to exit.
You can always move outside of the city. Not sure where you are but even downtown Seattle is cheaper than that. Outside the city in like Renton, you can find one bedrooms for like $1200. $1900 will get you a view of the lake.

This is downtown Seattle. 2.5 is pretty standard from everyone I work with.
I’m not willing to extend my commute to be longer than the 20 minutes it is now. Moving out of the city will make that 2-3x longer at minimum
