In my neighborhood, in a building pretty similar to mine (except that mine doesn't have a pool), $1400 will get you a studio: [link]
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It should go without saying, I feel, that $1200/mo in Cincinnati can get you a whole whole WHOLE lotta house, in a nice part of town.
(I remember once freaking some NYC-istas out when I mentioned that my rent on my 1-bedroom apartment, which is a decent size, is $535. To quell the freakout, I had to remind them that this is *Cincinnati.*)

Rent on my studio (fairly large studio with an actual kitchen) is $1150. It would probably be a few hundred dollars more if it were a few blocks further north.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I should note that that LA apartment is in a very very very sketch part of town. Like, I wouldn't live there. Ever.
This is comprable to my area: [link]

Because books.
We had an apartment about this size (a little bit smaller, with not as much light) for $950 -- seventeen years ago. Boy, times have changed.

The status is NOT quo.
I love living in LA.

My 1-BR apartment (with too small kitchen, in mostly nice area) is $510.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Would you want to remain in So Cal, Gloomcookie?
Nope. We want to buy a house and it's next to impossible here. We're also tired of everything being such a chore. Like going the grocery store - fight through traffic, find parking, deal with a bazillion people in the store. And we don't even live in LA proper. We want to go check Portland out and see if it's a possibility.
I love living in LA.
There are things we love, too. Like every band we like coming to town, gayness being no big, and of course the orb. But ultimately I think quality of life is becoming an issue for us.

Gronk. I overslept, and now I've been staring at my two remaining clean shirts for the past five minutes, trying to decide which one to wear. I don't do so well with the decisions before actually getting up.
So which do I wear? Plain green, or white with a Brooklyn Law School logo?
