This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Man I wish I lived where you did in 2019. I was looking for a place from 2017 to 2020, and they were already fucked.

Hell, Studio Apartments with like 500sqft were 2200 to 2400 a month already.

Last I checked you can move 50 miles from civilization and pay 600/month, but that was also the case 7 years ago.

In 2019 I lived in a bigger city for my state (USA) and my rent for a 1Br was $1200mo (heat/hot water only). Though it was not "in" the city, but one street over from the main strip. It is massively more expensive now

My friend was looking for an apartment in 2016 and he decided against this really nice one for $750 a month because it was too expensive. It wasn’t even a studio it was a reasonably sized 1 bedroom with utilities and internet included.

500sqft is now 2600 and the 50 miles is 1400

because all these peasants are super rich now and can afford it.
