You can expect to pay 40-60 percent of your income on a one bedroom apartment based on the local salary of 40000-50000 a year. Many peoples struggle to pay bills and be able to eat a balanced diet. You have been warned!

This city is brutally bad. The people of western european descent who are the majority are a mixture of no integrity and brainless impulsivity. How can these people be so consistently like this?
