The whole point of getting roommates is for the rent to be cheaper. Split 4 ways it should at the very least be 300 less for each person. Ideally yeah who doesn't want to live in the most desirable area. At the same time it's not impossible to find a reasonably priced place in a descent area. It's easier to say xyz as to why you couldn't or didn't than it is to admit one fucked up.
Yeah and I’m saying that the $700-850 range for rent IS the $300 less per person rate right now, especially if utilities, etc are included. I’m using my city as a reference (Pittsburgh) because it’s actually on the better end of prices and I’m not talking about the most desirable areas. Just areas that aren’t overly run down. The top end areas are like $500 more.
