$1050 a month for a studio apartment

At least you save a lot of money from not owning a car and paying for parking, etc. Yeah, it's pretty outlandish compared to some other areas but living in a city, particularly with one with direct commutes and connections to a large coastal city, is always more expensive.

also it's a furnished apartment, why would you rent one of those and complain about the cost?

southern california.
everywhere is crime ridden, and low crime areas dont typically have many apartments, just houses. I just did a quick search and found only 1 place for rent in my area, its is a 1 bedroom house for $900/mo +!150/mo utilities. I live in a pretty low crime area, so this is pretty good I think.

you need to own in a car in Lynnwood, their public transit infrastructure is limited and mostly for the homeless to move around on.

>pay $1200 a month for a two bedroom apt
>work 40 hours on minimum wage, wife also works 30 hours, total comes to around $4.5k a month
>mostly white quiet suburb, beach is a 20 min drive
Rent would only be $450 a month in my home country, but then I'd only make $1.5k, there's no beach, the winters are cold, shit like electronics and cars are still the same price, etc. Overall it's well worth it.

im a dumb code monkey living in parents house still. after taxes its like 6 thousand dollars a month that i make. would a place that costs 1.5k or less be ok to get? biggest expense now is internet.

i want to have sex and i hear moving out and getting your own place makes it easier

user, it won't magically turn you into a Chad. I have a Chad friend who was already fucking girls at 14 years old. He actually fucked a 17 year old girl on her parent's bed when he was 15. If you remember anything ab high school you know that that's practically unheard of. A junior girl would never want to be seen with a freshman or a sophomore. Chad can get girls wit no car, no house, no money, low social standing, nothing to his name. Sure getting your own place will help out a bit, but don't expect miracles. If you're still a virgin at 22+ then there's a reason for that and it won't be solved by peripheral shit like a cool car, nice apartment, well paying job, expensive clothes and cologne, etc.

>help out a bit
>a bit
that's all i need lad, just a shred of hope. im a 28KV and have decided to at least try. i know chad could literally kill a roastie's mom and roastie would still fuck him. since i dont have that luxury ive decided to take the meme advice that gets posted here all the time in regards to trying to unfuck your life. plus i could finally get a fleshlight and not worry about mom finding it.

Small town in south-west England. Around 200,000 bongs average house price in my area

My wife and I rent a 1200sq.ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house for $1250 a month. We live in a smaller city but our neighborhood is good, we're in a cul de sac and the neighbors all mostly keep to themselves. We're thinking about moving though since we used to have a roommate here with us but she got knocked up and moved out. We never wanted to pay this much in rent on our own and it's kind of difficult since I don't bring in a huge income.

i swear to the inexistence of god everytime i hear people fucking complaining about rent prices i want to tear my hair out because they're so god damn motherfucking stupid, it's like walking into THE MOST EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT IN THE WHOLE GOD DAMN WORLD AND ASKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE VALUE MEAL FOR POOR PEOPLE THEN COMPLAINING WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE ONE

you live in one of the MOST expensive cities to live in the entire united states of america and the world so how about you either fucking adapt like everyone else and GET ROOMMATES or MOVE to a place with more AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR POOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU, it's LITERALLY NOT THAT HARD

doesn't matter, he's still complaining about rent prices, even if it's a few minutes out of seattle you could still consider it as basically living in seattle because the majority of poor people like OP who work and shop in seattle will live in those suburbs, and without seattle, they would be nothing

anyways OP is a literal braindead moron for not knowing what roommates are or understanding that he can move to a place that's easier for poor people like himself to live in

There are some cheaper places in Mountlake Terrace if you know where to look. Maybe dont move to the one part of town black people live? I used an ethnic dot map to find the places that are mostly white and asian.

>pay 0 dollars for rent
>have zero expenses
>get to live in a nice 2,500 square foot house with my mommy in a suburb of a big city.
>my bedroom is huge and I have a big pool in backyard with lots of trees
>100% white neighborhood with zero crime that's mostly boomers or 30/ 40 year old white collar wage slaves.
>have cleaning lady, pool guy, mexicans mow my lawn.
>zero stress and get all this for free.

Why haven't you moved pack in with parents? The biggest mistake in life is falling for the rent jew. Imagine slaving your life away just so you could feel "independent" by giving away 1k+ USD to a landlord every month.

Lynnwood is supposed to be where the poor people live, thats the entire point of being outraged at the price. rent in Seattle is $2000+ but everyone expects that, a Studio apartment without a kitchen in god knows where Lynnwood shouldnt cost you want a 2bd 2bath cost 10 years ago.

My studio is double that in downtown DC

I live in Snohomish county. Housing prices here are absolutely fucked because of Californians moving up here to escape ridiculous housing prices only to drive up ours. I split a 3BR apartment and we're paying about $2,100 a month and renting a similar-sized house is closer to $2,500. Buying a house isn't an option because they're all $300k+, even the small shitty ones.
Don't come to WA, we're full.

I don't live in Lynnwood but I was assuming you would just commute to Seattle for work, and that takes 40-50 minutes regardless of car or bus. But if you live there you'd know better than I would desu.

Blame developers and property lenders. Developers only want to make single-use luxury buildings for rich people. Property lenders only want to rent their property to people who will pay absurd rates and pass them on to people living there, and they get penalized virtually nothing for just holding onto the property and doing nothing with it for years until a rich developer comes along and takes their price. The result is that even though apartments are constantly being made a huge chunk of them are empty, there's tons of property for rent and no local buyers, but rent keeps going up and up.

i live in the Mill Creek area northeast of Lynnwood, you can easily take a bus down to Seattle if you work there but you'll still need a car to get around Lynnwood or really do any kind of shopping or activities in the surrounding area.

i blame our local zoning laws, its extremely difficult to build "high-rise" style apartments over 3-stories here so most apartments are small "garden" style complexes with limited parking options and can rarely support more than 100 units or so.

i was just reading an article saying Seattle rent rates would continue to rise because housing prices are overinflated and nobody can afford to move out and buy an actual house.

I wish they'd push for more mixed-use areas. I lived in one and it was great. You didn't even need a car because you could just walk downstairs and be right next to your grocery store. Then I'd turn another corner and walk a few minutes and be at the Rapid Ride bus stop and take the bus. On the other hand, the targeted wealthy market doesn't want to live in areas like that so we keep getting more single-home zones and small apartments.

Housing prices are peaking and people are saying they'll start going back down in the next few years. Nobody's buying them now I guess.

in my free time i like to go on Zillow and check out nice looking $1 million+ luxury homes in the area and keep them in a favorites list for daydreaming.

i've noticed a lot of these high end homes have been sitting for a long time and many have seen substantial ($200,000+) price drops lately, with some being pulled from the market without being sold. these big ticket homes arnt moving like they used to and prices are dropping, the same thing will start happening with lower end homes, especially the new construction projects with over-inflated prices for their areas. there are loads of $1.5 million+ track houses in Kirkland and Redmond that have no right to cost that much for

Because not everyone is rich, also my Mum died, my Dad would probably take me in but I don't wanna be near my fortnite loving step brothers

The housing market is bitcoin for boomers. It needs to crash hard so younger generations can afford to start families and escape from the grip of the Landlord Jew. If there's no housing market crash then we have to wait until boomers finally fucking die off or panic sell when they move into nursing homes.

800 for a small flat in wales hahaha

Ooooft, heavy. North or south?

don't live in the seattle area if you don't work in tech or if you didn't buy a house 10 years ago. i bought my townhouse in 2010 for $350k. it is worth over $800k now.

>>$1050 a month for a studio apartment
>crime-ridden suburb 30 minutes outside of Seattle.

It's about the same in my suburb, but we have relatively little crime here.

Here's the rates for the apartment building that's a block away from me:

1 br: $1002+
2 br: $1223+
3 br: $1545+

500 britbux mortgage for a kinda ugly 70s bungalow in a kinda shit but cheap town near Glasgow. Nice street though.
One big double bedroom, one small single I use for random shit, and an even smaller room with glass double doors that my dogs have. Garage, garden and such. It's a bargain. I could never live anywhere expensive Kek. Feels bad for my mate in London who has a way better job than me but still lives with mummy.

>food and shelter in my country are very cheap, a double room apt. can be found for less than 200 dollars
>everything else is 5x more expensive and paychecks are usually shit, minimum wage here is 300 dollars
wew

>im rich why isnt everyone else rich
im not even a commiefag but cmon now man

these are like 45 minutes minimum by train from the city. the further out the more expensive you get too. nobody I know lives alone if they're a young adult. most people live with family until mid-30s or with a shitload of roommates.
