      I had a 2 bedroom in Albuquerque for 1100 last year, with horrible noise pollution but still.

        I’m stuck in my 2 bedroom townhouse apartment hybrid for 1125 because a studio around me is 1200 a month (or anywhere in range of my office). I live alone, and sleep on my couch, I don’t need the rooms, but I can’t leave.

        Great job capitalism!

      Lots of great smaller towns in the middle of the country. Usually pretty progressive too if you stay in town.

          Fayetteville Arkansas, Salina Kansas. Ames Iowa, Birmingham Alabama. That’s a few. There’s plenty more.

            I lived in Ames. There’s nothing great about it. The local government hates the college, and passes laws that fuck up the town just to spite them. ISU students are more than 50% of the population of the town. All of the apartments rent from August to August. Get there any other month, and your lease goes until August. This means that everyone in town is moving the same day. Worst town I’ve ever lived in.

            smaller towns

            Birmingham Alabama

            That’s a fair sight bigger than a town. In fact these are all major cities in their respective areas.
