Five years ago, in central Minnesota (St. Cloud), I found a house (with one roommate) where I paid $160 a month, about $40 a week, not including utilities. It wasn’t a nice neighborhood, it definitely was not a nice house, but its possible. I doubt I could find that kind of a deal in coastal southern California. Nevertheless, I still can get a $5 footlong.

I can get a “Footlong” with everything on it at Subway for $5 today – but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to find a place to live for $45 a week.

Were the sandwiches there unusually expensive?
