Lakewood? Probably about $20 if you’re single and want to live alone.

Lakewood is one of the pricier, pumped up rental markets around though.

My response is and would be that they're on drugs. I'm not even joking.

> This is so ridiculous in today's world.

Just wait until you see the process for getting a home mortgage lol. You could show proof that you can effortlessly afford DOUBLE the monthly mortgage payment by what you afford in monthly rent and they will still say you can't afford it.

>Almost all landlords require proof of income that you make at least 3 times the monthly rent.

This is so ridiculous in today's world. We don't want to pay people decent money and then ask the world of them. It legit makes me want to cause violence.

Anyways. I'm probably looking for a new job next month. I'm not convinced where I am is worth staying. And on another note I'm fine with a 1 bedroom. I don't have pets and they're honestly like a child and cost money too. Not worth it for someone like me.

Cheap apartments ARE out there, you just can't expect 3 bedrooms for your 5 dogs and 3 kids like many of the unreasonable people out there. I look on zillow every day out of boredom at work to see what's in the market. $16.25 would probably not be the easiest way to make it with today's prices but if you are frugal enough I would guess it could potentially be possible. Almost all landlords require proof of income that you make at least 3 times the monthly rent.

I was figuring I'd be screwed at any less than $18. I currently make $16.25 and live out of county. This is why I need the student loan thing to go through and actually happen. I have $4300 left in loans. It would also make moving out so much easier.

It really depends on how much of your monthly cash flow has to go towards debt and loans. If you have no or minimal debt then you can probably make it at $18. I was able to live relatively comfortably in the sense that I didn't exactly have to pinch every penny in 2018 making $18 an hour with a $400 car payment paying 650 for rent. I know those numbers are out of date now but it should at least provide some comparison

I'm at riverside and detroit and Cox went down to 50 down a few times in the evening this week but I usually have 300

Just made a service appointment. Replacing the modem didn't help.

I'll see if I can get them to replace the line.

Call cox, make them replace lines and such. I had some issues and they ran a new line and replaced a few in my house and I rarely have problems now.

I was under the impression that after AT&T's acquisition they weren't going to run much more fiber

If it's any consolation I've noticed a lot of the buildings I work in have had fiber installed recently. I'm sure this is to get the most bang for their buck, and Lakewood being so densely populated it probably isn't too far off before it's pulled into entire neighborhoods.

It's been infuriating. And the lack of competition is horrible for residents. My $112 internet on my current street only costs $69 on my old street because there is ATT Fiber available and therefor more competition.

I'm on Elbur right off Clifton. The fastest AT&T service available for me is 24Mbps. I keep checking every 4-6 months and there's no change.

How is it possible that the most densely populated city between NY and Chicago does not have fiber throughout the entire city?

I've e-mailed and Tweeted at our local government officials, hoping they had more information, but I've heard nothing in response.

It's been so bad. I've always hated cable internet, it's never consistent... But when I had ATT fiber is was so fast and consistent... I miss it so much.

I don't have fiber but I haven't noticed Cox being slow any evening this week. Right now I have 350 down and 12 up

Fiber was supposed to roll out in the late 90's and early 2000's but never was. Pretty much both AT&T and Cox are lying when they say Fiber's been installed.

The hearts of the landlords

Not since the old temple was torn down...

Bunch of store fronts on madison and detroit.

Not off the top of my head but atlas obscura is a good site for that

Some friends in highschool almost got arrested for breaking into an abandoned house

But that's illegal, so obviously don't do it.

Hypothetically, you'd have way better luck in a place with old manufacturing. Lakewood just doesn't really have that

Unless you're interested in empty storefronts with nothing to explore, Lakewood probably isn't offering much in this department

My soul ?
