I didnt take it as belittling. Its the one spot that's mine, with my desk, computer and filing cabinet. I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse. Have 3 kids plus the wife. Wife uses one of the bedrooms as her office (she runs a non-profit and needs more room than my occasional wfh) and the lids share the other non-master bedroom.

I'm sorry to hear the GP has to pay 3800 for a studio. I pay around 4400 for a 3 bed/3.5 bath townhouse w/ a 2 car garage in Chicago's suburbs; and I think what I pay is ridiculous.

Yeah, I wish I had those prices. I'm in Manhattan though. At least my transportation costs are very low (about $30 per month); add on the total costs of your cars and that $4,400 figure grows substantially :(
