[–] SCB@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago* (1 child) In California, a new mortgage payment is 8-15k/month. Rent on an apartment is 3-4k/month Buddy of mine lives in LA and was just posting angry complaints about his rent going up to 1800/mo, so no. I've got three friends in the LA area and one in the Bay and none of them pay anything close to 3k/mo rent or 8k(!!!!!) on their mortgages. Those numbers are insane. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] phoneymouse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago LA is cheap compared to the Bay Area. Also, I’m quoting numbers for new mortgages and new rentals. If you got your mortgage even 3 years ago, the numbers will be different. permalink fedilink source parent
