Are comics too expensive?

>"Avoid" high rent by paying $1200 a month
I rent in fucking Ohio and pay $600 a month for a full house, what the fuck is this shit?

Single issues yes but TPB no

Cost of living is different in different places

Floppies should be dissolved entirely. Trades are where it is at.

Commiefornians are notoriously retarded.

You sound like you're 12. I'm sure when you were renting this house you realize different neighbourhoods have different average prices.
I don't even agree and I think that this sort of shit makes it clear that the entire colonization and unification process of the united States was a joke, but still, how can you not understand something so basic as rent price fluctuation?

I'm German but even I know that so-called "it-places" in the US are always more expensive than a place in the middle of nowhere. What bothers me that places are pretty expensive in my city, which is rather small. No wonder people are choosing more rural areas and not giving a shit about big cities

Yes. If Diamond was cut out and publishers did the distribution themselves they could cut at least a forth of the price.

>what? why is an apartment in India cheaper than my flat in New York?
C'mon user, you should know better

Print lobby. Same is true for big boy books, same is true in most countries on Earth.

>Zig Forumsmmiefornia

Landlords were a mistake.

You would think that digital video games would have the advantage of being cheaper, since they don't require printing or shipping to be produced. But nope. Same price.

LA is hip and trendy
Everyone wants to be there, so the land costs more.

California is the most capitalist place you will ever go.

>Steven T. Johnson, 27, works in social media advertising and lives in Hollywood. He spends most of his days using things he does not own.

>He takes a ride-share service to get to the gym; he does not own a car. At the gym, he rents a locker. He uses the gym's laundry service because he does not own a washing machine. Johnson doesn't even have an apartment, actually. He rents a bed in a large room with other people who rent beds, for nights, weeks or months at a time, through a service called PodShare. All the residents share a kitchen and bathrooms. Johnson also rents a desk at WeWork, a coworking space. And he says the only clothes he owns are two versions of the same outfit.

>Johnson says he owns so little that he has even been able to get rid of his backpack. "I gave that up two months ago," he says. He says that for him, this lifestyle isn't cumbersome or confusing. "That's what's great," he says. "When you don't own things, you don't have to keep track of them. You just show up." He pays $1,400 a month to rent a bunk and an additional $600 a month to rent a desk to work at.

>man who sold the world plays
This country is fucked. You used to be able to buy a nice house on an advertiser's salary.

Why not just be homeless at that point

Supreme cope.

I live in Boston and make $60,000 a year, and I've been putting a few hundred bucks a month away for the last few years to buy a house.

I could *almost* afford to buy a house with no shower if I got a roommate. And LA is so much worse than Boston

...Are you joking?
Because often times, they are cheaper digitally.
