Came across an old (dated 1964 but probably older) episode
of a Jack Benny comedy show, also including George Burns.
In the episode, Burns needs to find a 1-room (w Murphy bed)
apartment. The landlady wants - get this - $3 a week - but
cuts that down to $1.75 after some issues emerge. Given the
context I'm gonna say NYC.
$12/month, or less.
Similar sized today, $2000+ ... and some "closets" go for
twice that easily.
A whole LOT of bullshit goin' on here.
