Food has utility that you also need every day, but even at $10 a meal, that only comes up to ~310 a month.

$10 a meal is $10330.. so $900. Which is double the cost of rending a cheap room in the most expensive area in the USA.

To reach the amount I’m paying for rent, every meal I’d be eating would be $30. That’s 4.5 avocado toasts…per meal, every meal.

No, you messed up the math, it is 1/3 what your calculating.

That’s a cost that would indicate that the “Thing you need” is being charged at luxury pricing, despite not being a luxury, but a thing people need.

Since your own example had an error in and the actual numbers line up with my own statement, since this was your example and convincing to you when it had the error does this mean you now change your mind and admit rent is cheap?

If not, ask yourself why was it a convincing argument with incorrect numbers and when the actual numbers show the exact opposite it suddenly stops being a convincing argument to you.

There’s no reason rent needs to be so high, anywhere.

I mean you were literally off by a factor of x3 in this comparison….
