    I legit have this floor, my rent is actually $3050 in the back fucking woods of Massachusetts. It was literally the cheapest 3 bedroom we could find (partners kids). New construction, corporate landlord. Literally no idea who owns the property, or to whom my rent goes.

    When I moved out of my last apartment a couple years ago(which was the exact same size), gorgeous 100yr old mill housing. Has solid wood doors, real tiled bathroom, recently (within the last 10yrs) redone electrical and HVAC. Plus the landlord and his wife were legitimately rad people and lived in the building next door and we smoked weed together, had cookouts and fires. Rent was $1650.

    And the BEST part, they didn’t even install the flooring correctly. It’s less than 2yr old building, screws are backing out and making bumps. On top of the tiles that are peeling/lifting.

    Like, my partner and I have great jobs and it’s only manageable. I have absolutely zero clue how anyone doing slightly worse is getting by.
