And I think the reality of this statement is lost of many folks, because it's not just large cities that have this problem. I live in a moderately sized city (~100k people) and rents here are nearly $1000/mo for an average one bedroom apartment.

In Seattle and SF it's more like $2000 per month.

Minimum in my experience. I haven’t been able to pay under $2000 for a 1 bedroom in the 7 years I’ve lived in Seattle. The cheapest I’ve gotten was $2100 but that was a place where you had to deal with mold, you heard your neighbors every conversation, and the whole building shook when the washing machine downstairs ran.
