No, you misunderstood. I meant we're buying a house for $300,000, it would cost $700,000 in L.A.
How many Sq Ft is your apartment? Anything in the 1,000 sq ft range would start at around $2,000 in Glendale, I would imagine. But I'm sure you've got someplace lined up, right?
I will tell you that I lived in Van Nuys when I first got to CA, and I was paying about $1K (just rent, utilities were extra) for about 450 sq. ft., a dumpy apartment with no appliances other than a stove, in a shitty area.
