About 15 years ago, we had 1200 sq ft apartment with a nice deck that overlooked some woods and ponds at the bottom of the hill. It was $800 a month and we afforded it just fine. Now, I make almost double what I made then, and we live in a 900 sq ft apartment that stares down into a parking lot, has creaky floors, barely functioning appliances, and we pay $2000. The old apartment was $5.2k a month last time I checked (early 2022).
