I really don't know how you expect anyone to pay their bills, maintain their credit, on that paycheck. Doing those jobs, inside the city. I pay 2200 a month and it's an absolute bargain. The girls I rent to downstairs in southie pay 4k a month.
The problem here is kids being encouraged to go to college 8 years when they are idiots. If they have taken on the debt of loans the only option to go now is trades or pull off some king of life changing move and get lucky. The loan crisis is exactly that, a crisis.
The PUA will run out. Anyone taking advantage of the situation will be punished for their laziness. Don't forget what happens when the tax bill arrives. Sure, there is a 10k rebate, but if you've been collecting for a year, that's only what 75%? The IRS is coming.
