Wow! I was renting a basement suite for 800 a month near Marine Train Station with my girlfriend 5 years ago, 400 each, I thought that was reasonable.

Now I rent a two bedroom on the 10th floor for 550 a month in Japan, which is nice. Of course Osaka and Tokyo are more expensive, on average my friends living in those cities pay 650 to 800 for a one bedroom.

So in other words... fuck calling that affordable rent! Seriously, 1700 a month??? How do people afford this on minimum wage again??
