Where do you pay $600 for 2br? That sounds impossible anytime in the last 10 years.

My friend in Morgantown, WV has a 3 br, 2ba townhouse for $500 per month...But its been that much since he moved in 12 years ago. He refuses to move because he won't find anything that good.

I’ve got family in Williamstown so I def can picture that and feel the same way.

I live about 50 miles south of Indianapolis. It’s considered income based housing but they based it off what I made when I moved in which was like 25k a year and now I make almost double and they still base my rent off that initial income. It’s a really nice 100 year old school conversion. I really don’t wanna move i just feel like a chump having paid rent at diff spots for 10+ years

But yeah, aside from me just having really good luck with housing situations, it is near impossible. This would cost me 1200 easy in Bloomington which is where I work and just a little north.
