Some are flocking to places like Hegang, a cold and remote coal mining city in northeastern China famous for shockingly cheap housing prices. [...] A one-bedroom apartment can be bought for $3,000, and $13,000 can buy a roomy four-bedroom place.

Depending on expenses that month, 2/3-3/4 of my cost of living is rent.

By "buy," they mean annual rent, r-r-right? Everyone knows houses cost like $500,000 for 500 square feet.
