Just discovered: this is the amount for rent + whatever utilities the renter is to pay:

Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else). Gross rent is intended to eliminate differentials that result from varying practices with respect to the inclusion of utilities and fuels as part of the rental payment.

Was looking into this just to make sure I wasn't underestimating rent value due to people paying no rent being included for some reason. Confirmed that they're not:

In computing median gross rent, units reported as “No rent paid” are excluded.

They don’t prepare you for how difficult life is when you’re making $800k/year

Boomers did have it easier, but Millennials and Zoomers can move out on their own if they make some nominal sacrifices. They mostly just don't like the idea of their standard of living dipping when they move out (or, in some cases, just don't know this stuff because they've swallowed too many black pills).

They're onto us!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, we took a big L in the Poor Chat earlier:

I gave up all wage-earning jobs and the ability to provide for myself and my family to AI robots and all I got was a panopticon surveillance police state and this shitty, deflated eighth pound burger that will soon be made with bug protein.
