Less than $1,000 a month for a one bedroom anywhere in the U.S. that isn't a small metro is going to be a hard find in trendy neighborhoods. I'm sure there are more options outside of the Emerald City. I'd be willing to bet there are more options for someone in that situation in Chicago than NY, Boston, DC, Denver, Portland, Seattle, SF, or LA. When it costs upwards of $2,700 for a studio in Chicago, we can talk about an affordable housing issue. I know people paying $700 ($1400 total) for a two bed, two bath in Edgewater, Uptown, and Rogers Park. I know people paying not much more for the same deal in Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Bucktown...
