...says the man who's been banished to a remote cabin.

In the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area,
only 60% of households are "buyers" ( not renting ).

A typical renter, with a typical job, 
can only afford to pay $800/month... enough for 
a tiny, private room ( SRO, Single Room Only ), 
with HouseMates ( shared kitchen/bath ).

It takes 2.2 such people to afford a one bedroom apartment;
but, if you did that, you'd have BunkMates ( not HouseMates )
in your bedroom !  Rooming Houses are better.
