Do you live in an apartment, a condo, a townhome, a home or...?

I live in a wildly overpriced studio apartment. I would jump at the chance to move into a concrete block apartment with no AC and limited hot water if it took $500 off my monthly rent.

How much do you currently pay and how much do you think these commie block apartments would cost? Because where I’m from, a 1br commie block apartment is as much as if not more than a modern studio apartment.

Apartment blocks are nice, but I don’t want to live in the commie ones, they suck in many ways.
