Hey - I pay $2650/mo for 3 bedrooms near the ocean in Los Angeles. But that doesn't make it any less crazy. And if you're renting it, you don't get to sell it. Let's have a come-to-Jesus: You can go to Ikea. You can buy a shitty-ass Poang Chair. And you can sit it in your $2000/mo 400sqft apartment and it will take up nine square feet. $45 a month of your rent goes to having a place for that fuckin' chair to sit. It only cost you seventy bucks. Let's put it in San Fran terms: You bought a BMW 5 series. if you were spending as much on your parking spot, comparatively, as you're spending on the spot under your Poang chair, you'd spend $35k a month on PARKING.
