Where I live 2K is at the low end for a 400sf studio (I am in a big city where rent is particularly high though).

...i don't doubt it: when i left the bay area for cheaper lands twenty years ago, 650sf apartments were going for $1600 and i'm sure prices have only inflated since...my data points are all the cheap minima on my housing curve over the past ~~three~~ four decades...

edit: ...f*ck, i forgot how old i am; it happens on the north end of the century mark...

Where I am $1300 gets you the luxury of living in someone's garage which is what I'm currently doing, not even remotely close to a city... Utilities not included of course.
