Watching all these people having to live in these ridiculously expensive, tiny shitholes is really just sad more than anything. Most certainly not what the author had in mind.
@Narf Rent seem cheap to me compare to the cost of rent in my city. Heck I've seen a garage converted into a "Loft" with a price of $1 million (in my city).
@drunkenhobo
What kind of hellhole do you live in where 520$ (without accounting for electricity, heating, etc.) for a 24m² garage that still requires massive renovation for habitation is considered a cheap rent?
Not gonna lie if I could relax in a big bath and browse the web on my laptop without fear of electrocution I'd totally do it. The bath in my house is really small so I can't sit down comfortably, so I have to settle for showers.
