Hi, Yo-Yo-!
In most Blue states these days, $1,800 will not cover the rent.
This way he has maintenance covered, a place to eat, visitors can come and go without feeling like they’ve got to be quiet or follow Assisted Nursing Center Visitation Hours.
He also sounds like he doesn’t like to mess in the kitchen. LOL
He’s a walking advertisement for Holiday Inn. As long as he’s not running amok most Holiday Inns would welcome a steady customer. LOL
I live in downstate Illinois. This gent could live like a king for $1800 a month. In Chicago, not so much..
I am sure that for $1,800/month, even when adding in utilities, CATV, and $200/mo to have someone come in to clean twice a month, you could find an apartment at least as large as the size of an average $60 per night Holiday Inn room.
The only exceptions would be Manhattan, NY, San Francisco, CA, and a few other expensive downtown areas.
But then you're not going to find a hotel room for $60/night in those places, either!
