Just for funsies I checked the apartment I used to rent in college. In 2001 I rented it with my BFF for $475/month. It went up to $650 before we moved out in 2004.
The exact same apartment (with new laminate flooring) is $1475/month. Welcome to inflation (and why my college kids live with me).
@LianaBrooks A place I rented in Santa Ana about 20 years ago went for 1800 at the time, and was about 1200 feet. It is now going for $3200. Median rent there is apparently $2500.
How the fuck can people who live in Santa Ana afford to live in Santa Ana?
