I'm not entirely sure but where I lived I had split the rent between 4 people in a 2 bedroom apartment and it was $350 per person. So that makes $1400 a month, for an apartment! D8

I wouldn't say that it's entirely true that the pay is high enough to compensate for the higher cost of living. The minimum wage was only like a $1.50 more than where I live now and everything seemed to cost almost twice as much. @o@
