        Speaking of the relative cost of housing, you can buy an actual whole house in other parts of the USA for that much a month. That could be a 30-year mortgage payment on a 100k house.

      This is a dormitory with a shared living space, bathrooms and shower. If anything the “bunks” are quite generously sized.

      Take a look at your comment and ask if maybe you’re flipping out unnecessarily.
