I literally pay $100 more to live in a much shittier garage than this...

Rent is getting absolutely disgusting. I was JUST getting a promotion that would allow me to afford a house and then COVID fucked literally everything... The WFH movement started in full swing and bye bye affordable housing... Now I'm permanently locked out of the housing market as a blue collar piece of shit.

In Switzerland I could kill someone and have a better living arrangement than in this picture (look up swiss prisons)

I pay 1k for roughly 740 square feet / 69 m2. Covid didn't change anything. It's wild that things can be so vastly different for two similary rich countries (I kinda assume the post is in the USA).

Same here, me and my GF make enough money now to afford housing 3 years ago, but now we're priced out of even renting! it's bullshit.

It's so gross that we literally need 2 incomes, sometimes more just to afford a place to sleep... I'm perpetually single so I need to do it all solo. Good luck I hope you guys find something soon!

The rate of increase is mind blowing. I used to rent a 1br luxury apartment for $1100 back in 2016.

Good thing wages are also inflating to keep up with these ridiculous price increases. Oh, wait...

That's the cost of my mortgage, and I have a 6 bedroom house.

It looks like the homeowner is trying to get a renter to pay theirs.

Depending on where it's located, this could be considered a bargain. I've seen basement closets for $700+/month that didn't have windows or a kitchen.

EDIT: I should add that this wasn't in a large city. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1042-Winthrop-St-BASEMENT-Brooklyn-NY-11212/2061307902_zpid/ is an example of $1,200/month in NYC.

Unless there's more shown than in that photo, that's a not a 1 BR, that's a studio. And a crappy and overpriced one at that.

This kicks ass , but price range doesn't

It has a garage!

Landlords provide housing the same way that ticket scalpers provide concert tickets

I’d be stunned if this was legal.

Which part? The only thing I don't see from a legal standpoint is a smoke detector. The bathroom will need to have a functional vent to the outside as well.

I’m thinking that a garage door instead of an actual wall would be some sort of code violation.

If this was half the price, I'd be thrilled with a place like this. If it has a bathroom and a Washer/Dryer, it has everything I need and nothing I don't.

Looks like it would be freezing in winter though.

Don't worry, my gaming laptop spews enough heat to keep me warm! /s
