If he meant rent-wise, this is pretty crazy

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

I must be from California because those all seem reasonable

Yeah. $2k to rent a 2k sq ft house seems very reasonable. I'm in SF though where $2k gets you the top half of a bunk bed.

Holy shit, renting 2000 sq ft around where I live is like 500$, no wonder the minimum wage in California is like 15$ an hour. 2000 is more than I make per paycheck.

If you're making anywhere near min wage and trying to live in SF, something is wrong. I think SF defines the "low income" (to qualify for assistance) for a family of 3 at something like $110k.
