here a mortgage costs more than renting. houses are out of the question since they are 1.5+ million and no one has 100k-400k sitting around for a down payment not to mention the month bill would be 4k or more. there are one bedroom condos for 400k which is the cheapest thing you can get. with an 80k down payment to avoid the extra kike fees the mortgage payment is still 2k per month, plus 800 a month for condo fees and several hundred a month for the parking, mandatory gym access and other bullshit amenities forced on you, plus another hundred or so for the other fess. renting is 2.2k for the same shithole apartment down the road.
