Rents in the new building by me are starting at 2 grand and up.
I just looked at an Apt I rented in Belleview WA (across the pond from Seattle) back in 2007. 480 sq/ft efficiency, meaning no bedroom. My bed was in the living room, a galley kitchen, bath with a 2x2 ft standing shower. I left in 2007 it was $1,080 month. A carbon copy unit next to my old one is going for $2,380 month. Parking is extra. That’s just unreal.
