You can take that line about everyday NYers living in multimillion dollar lofts and readily extrapolate that nearly everyone of TV lives in housing that only a few can afford. Heh...my example of that is The Waltons.
In the middle of the depression, this "poor" Virginia family had their own business, their own truck, their own horse and lived in a five-bedroom house with indoor plumbing.
Don't get me started on their "Virginia" mountains...
They had their own "mountain" too.
I agree....I hate when LaLaLand passes off "somewhere within 100 miles of LA" as the Appalachins.
