This thread makes me want to move really bad. My girlfriend and I pay $1196 a month, NOT INCLUDING UTILITIES, for a 700 sq/ft apartment. And this was one of the better deals in the area as well. We shopped around for a while before settling on this. Thats what i get for living near San Francisco.

I live in a suburb of San Francisco. Rent is even worse in the city. I looked it up after posting and two close big cities (San Francisco and San Jose) rank very high among the worst for housing cost.
I was paying $1260 a month, not including utilities in Los Angeles for a 2 bedroom, which was actually pretty cheap for the area. My buddy got a 1 bedroom close to the beach and it's costing him 2 grand. I just moved in with my sister in Arizona, cause the wife and I are going back to school and the mortgage on her house is only $600!
i pay $720/mo. for the mortgage on a 2000 sq. ft. house on a pretty big city lot, not all too far from mr. sturgis
and...while his place may be cheap as fuck, i also have to say that he lives in the asshole of america, so everyone take that into consideration before getting all "OMG I NEED TO MOVE!!"

Fair enough. I didn't realise you teach out that way.
Actually, I'd like to know more about what you teach, rates, etc. If I can afford it I wouldn't mind some lessons this year to kick my ass into gear properly.
PM me if you have the time.

1000-2000sq ft HOUSES?? my god... that's awesome... In Spain you would pay that 700$/mo for a 200ft flat with no land and no parking lot

Fuck should move back to Hawaii. Avg house price in Brisbane is upwards of 500k, small shitty units will still set you back at least 200k. Mortgage repayments would be your guys monthly per week and that's over 30 years. Just to rent a house I'm paying 520/week. Studio facility is only about 2000/month.

TRY TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA WITH JEFF, OR WHERE I LIVE. The CHEAPEST you can get a LEGAL studio apartment for (with paint coming off the walls) in my city is $1100 a month, plus utilities. Shit is fucked up. If you want to buy a house around here, taxes will also rape you.

it's all about the cost of living in your area. I agree that some places are just ridiculous though.
For example, I live in a suburb of philadelphia in a small 1 bedroom apartment and I pay $855/month and some additional stuff like electricity and cable/internet. So usually around $930-$950. 70/30 split between me and my girl. However, i get waaaay less taxes out of my check because i live and work in bensalem. If i lived in philly, it'd be a lot different.
Out in the midwest it's so much more cheaper. I could practically have a house and a studio for what I pay here but I'd probably have a job that pays significantly less.

cali rent is seriously ridiculous. i lucked out and found a 2 br. place out there for $750/mon, but i looked for months to find it, and it was in a shitty location
