Keep in mind, the median rent in the U.S. for a 1-bedroom apt is >$18,000/year.

@MikeDunnAuthor how do people put up paying $1,5k p.m. just for a tiny room to sleep in?

If that would be charged in #Germany, you'd see riots if not a civil war and landlords being lynched in public...

@kkarhan

I've seen so many videos shot by landlords that are proud of their offering when it's a 35m² 5th floor walk up that is asking "only $3800 per month" in a dodgy area of Manhattan.

For a country that prides itself on innovation and problem solving, there's a lot of shrugging and saying "well, what can you do?"
