That doesn't mean everyone can do it everywhere. I live in a part of Massachusetts that has been economically depressed for 30+ years, and a 3 bedroom apartment is going to cost you $900+ utilities; houses start around $180k. Could you do that on 17k? If it was $17k after taxes and you didn't own a car (but you have to around here) Maybe.
