Those don’t even look like anything special. And the location is amazing but also probably $$$$ to insure.
If I’m spending the equivalent of the price of a whole damn house in rent per year I better at least have the kind of house where you host all the family holidays.
I live in an LA suburb, about 5 miles from the beach and pay ~$2000/month for a 2 bedroom, one bathroom. In Inglewood, it would probably be less for the same size apartment, even less for a one bedroom or studio. Yes, LA is more expensive than most places in the US but it’s not as crazy as they’re making it out to be. Rob might be fine with going outside to use the bathroom, but it’s totally normal that Sophie doesn’t want to. It doesn’t even sound like she wants something super fancy, she just wants to be able to use the bathroom without leaving her apartment.
Yeah wanting an in-unit bathroom is a basic ask. I can’t imagine living in a place where I don’t have my own bathroom.
Most metropolitan areas in California aren’t cheap but he can definitely find something more reasonably priced, if he stops looking at luxury homes. I feel like it’s either for the show or he’s trying to manipulate her into staying in his tiny shoebox of an apartment by only looking at unrealistic homes.
Yep, I think he’s like “oh look at those houses, $25k a month we can’t afford to move!” when he’s just cheap and lazy. I still think he’s living in someone’s converted garage that isn’t zoned for having someone living there so he’s playing like $500 a month. Which is fine when it’s just him, but it’s not out of line for Sophie to want an indoor bathroom. If he can’t afford that, he shouldn’t be importing a girlfriend who can’t work for several months. I suppose she might still be doing social media stuff although I’m not sure about the legality of that since she doesn’t have a green card.
Your rent is under the current market value. Ive been trying to move to a 2 bedroom and cant find anything under $2400; most 2 bedrooms are around $2500-$2700 right now. Rents have gone up a lot in the past 2-3 years.
Agree. Even in Inglewood a simple search shows that isnt the case.
A 2 bedroom is around 2k and a 1 Bd is 1.65k.

This is true, things are more expensive nowadays, but my point is that it’s not as crazy expensive as this scene was trying to make it seem like. My point is that they could easily find something with a bathroom in the apartment for $2k or under. Not $25k.
Oh yeah, I’m definitely team sophie. I just think those prices are insane even for right there on the beach. But I guess if people pay them then that’s the market. Housing should be more affordable overall, but nobody needs to live on the beach.
Your rent actually doesn’t sound too bad. I’m in Florida and you can get a nice place for that, but not really too different from what you’re talking about. And you probably have higher wages than you would here.
only the very rich (a LOT of very famous actors and actresses and people in the film industry) but beach houses right on the ocean. they can afford it no problem, i was in malibu beach recently and saw pierce brosnan’s house, which he put on the market for $300 mil (it didn’t sell lol but still. beachfront property is out of reach for the 99%
