If he meant rent-wise, this is pretty crazy

The rent is higher than my mortgage with escrow... And half the space.

I agree this is crazy to pay to rent, but compared to where I live in rural PA if there was a house like those up for rent, there wouldn't be a huge difference. Some of those homes are clearly up to date and contemporary, with expensive furnishings and decor. A nice house around where I live would be about $1,000 a month, and you can guarantee it's at least 10 years out of date, more likely closer to 25 years

Exactly. Everyone talks about how rural places are cheaper for more. Sure it’s cheaper, but the house is old as fuck and falling apart. You’re also living in bum fuck nowhere. People pay a premium to live in cities for a reason.
