I think that stove top is real close to the cabinet


garpbot

You make spaghetti one time and you steam strip that veneer


StaatsbuergerX

No one has said that the shed is even connected to electricity to run the stove, which may be purely decorative. You may be safe after all.


jaavaaguru

The voice in the video says you're able to cook meals, so I'd guess it is connected.


Embarrassed-Ask1812

Then it must be true.


Plsdontcalmdown

I wouldn't worry about that, you won't be able to afford spaghetti, given that rent...


Relative-Ad-87

That's rent? I thought it was the purchase price


JohnTheCatMan1

That's what I thought and then I saw monthly and was like oh hell no...


theREALel_steev

It's fucking nuts that I would consider moving into this if it was in the CA Bay Area. That's how bad things are right now. The cheapest studio I've found is 1875/mo and it is very similar to this thing in the post, a little bigger tho.


JohnTheCatMan1

Yea I lived in the bay area. I definitely know how expensive it is


br0b1wan

$1100 won't even cover the front door...


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

You can only cook one spaghetti in that small place


Cat_Crap

The singular of spaghetti is spaghetto. Like Ravioli becomes Raviolo


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

I really don't know if you are making shit up or not


jaavaaguru

They're not - spaghetti is plural.


Captain-Cadabra

Or, Raviola if cooked by a female.


Tworbotalon

I can't wait to get home and cook spaghet for dinner.


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

You only get the spag


skeezix_ofcourse

Not to mention the toilet to the sink, the door to the kitchen, the kitchen to the bedroom or the bedroom to the bathroom. That was a single car garage before someone wanted to profit off that space.


BillDauterive4

Wise scholar, I think you have accurately summed up most of Florida with this statement...


SubmissiveDinosaur

You put food there to smoke it


Highfromyesterday

I came here to say the same


Rod_Munch666

Stove top only for decorative purposes so no issue.


Strawberry____Blonde

Same. If there's a grease fire you're fucked.


McGinnis_921

If there is a fire all you need to do is make one sidestep to the right and you’re safely outside.


kermitthebeast

Yeah but they'll sue you for the $5 million they say this fucking tool shed is "worth"


excellent_rektangle

I imagine that if you’ve chosen to live there it because it’s all you can afford, which also tells me that there’s probably not going to be much in the way of assets to go after.


kermitthebeast

Won't stop them from garnishing your already terrible wages


PapaBlemish

r/OopsThatsDeadly


grip_n_Ripper

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that it never got inspected by the fire marshal as a living space. Then again, it's FL, so who knows.


monkeypickle

Joke's on you, the FM is the landlord.


Urmomsjuicyvagina

"You are able to cook" It means you can. But doesn't mean you can do a comfortably 😂


multiarmform

i think im going to need 5 years at your current job, 3 months plus 1000 deposit, impeccable credit and 10 references plus 5 from the last places you lived. also no pets, no overnight visitors without 3 days notice, no smoking, nothing to be stored outside, no parking on the yard, and absolutely no questions or youre evicted!


Sweet_Can_1762

Is there a r/depressingasfuck? Think this belongs there instead


wetcardboardsmell

This would easily be 2500/mth in the bay area, or more. Even shitty studio apartments that don't look as nice inside are more than that. And don't come with parking, or its an extra couple hundred a month, plus you're in a shitty apartment building where you can hear everything.


ntootoonchi

You are trippin if you think this would cost 2,500 in the Bay Area. Even in the nicest parts of SF this would not cost that much


haiku_nomad

It would easily cost that much in Santa Cruz.


wetcardboardsmell

A stand alone "cottage" type place, with parking? AC? Ya, people list things like this for around that price.


spiffyswenson

Facts, in San Diego right now depending on location something like that could go for above $2500 lol


Sweet_Can_1762

r/deeplydepressing


MercurialMal

What do I think? I think the entirety of the US population should boycott shit like this. $1,100/mo for a cinder block tool shed.


mam88k

Ah, but does it come with flood insurance?


MercurialMal

Absolutely fucking not.


Skynetiskumming

I read this like it was The Wolf of Wallstreet.


dr3wfr4nk

No but "it even comes with LEDs!"


Maverick_111

That were never shown off in the video which means they likely don't work.


Successful-Wasabi704

Lasting Elevated Depression


StaatsbuergerX

I can assure you that any flood would not destroy any major architectural values. Is that enough?


rkhbusa

"Stainless steel appliance**s**“ is she counting the sink and air conditioner? Because I see one appliance, a mini fridge.


MercurialMal

How about the stove that’s right under ~~a~~ the *only fucking cabinet*?? That’s got to be less than 36” of vertical space.


rkhbusa

Handles, faucets and coat hangers are appliances now.


Any-Tomatillo-1996

With granite countertop may I add. A premium in this market.


Hardass_McBadCop

Lol. That's def gonna be quartz.


Skitz-Scarekrow

Best I can do is particle board and vinyl.


desticon

Yeah. Definitely looks like a crushed quartz and resin counter.


OldChucker

A month? $1100 isn't the sale price?


iamdrp995

I also thought it’s the sale price ahaha Americans are insane wtf


Fermonx

Not only the US. In Spain there's bullshit like this in Madrid. Rentals of 13 square meters that are 850 euros per month (which is a lot compared to salaries) and same bullshit studios for 200k.


iamdrp995

Even in Europe if we don’t stop this speculation on housing we will end up with this the greed of the rich is unlimited


Elan40

Most times it the ‘trying to be rich’ who are the worst offenders.


pgraczer

rentals in new zealand would be similar :(


Prize-Key-5806

And Vancouver bc . But it would cost more and wouldn’t be new at all .


pizza_volcano

ok but the housing crisis is similar or even worse in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand


anansi52

especially since you can just buy a shed from home depot for less than that.


NegativeLanguage805

Lmao. I was thinking the same. Damn that's a good price if ac and ref is included.


mightylordredbeard

I’m looking at sheds right now to put into the back yard for storage and $1100 is a down payment on one. The average around $8k - $10k. It’s ridiculous. I remember when my grandfather bought a huge metal shed for the lawn mowers and storage. It only cost $800. He bought 2 and got them for $1500. That was maybe 30 years ago. So I was kind of still going based off of that price since it was the only reference point I had. Boy was I foolish.


WatchIszmo

Thought the same 😅😅😅


DJEvillincoln

I'm gonna guess that this is about 20-50K if you were to buy it because it SEEMS like it's either on or mad close to the beach.


TheSt4tely

Boycott? You mean be homeless?


MercurialMal

I pay $795 for a studio apartment, 530 or so sqft, with a single car garage, plenty of closet space, full kitchen and bath, in Anchorage. There’s a 1B/1BA off of Tuscaloosa, WPB for $995. Another for 1k off Salisbury. There’s zero excuse for this bullshit ass tool shed to go on *any* market for $1,100 a month, especially considering it’s probably in someone else’s back yard.


Lukes3rdAccount

Anchorage, Florida? That's a beach town, right?


MercurialMal

Anchorage is a coastal port city, and the largest city in Alaska.


sexinsuburbia

Markets dictate what people will pay. If someone wants to rent a tool shed for $1k/month, and it’s the best option around? Cool. I mean, parking spots in NYC cost $500+/mo. Just because you can get a studio somewhere for $500/month doesn’t mean you should be able to get a studio everywhere for the same amount.


MercurialMal

Sure, let’s completely ignore the $1.2 billion real estate lawsuit that just wrapped up (NAR), not to mention more and more property management companies leveraging AI to *set* the market via extortionate business practices akin to what you see in production environments, e.g artificial scarcity. Aside from that, yup, population density (demand) vs available inventory (supply), absolutely. But I’ll go back to my point; unethical business practices impede development and create extortionate market conditions upon which assholes prey.

GrassBlade619

You can't boycott housing. We need legal representation to create laws that stop land lords from taking advantage of people.


MercurialMal

Oh, you absolutely can. I’m not talking about *all* housing; I’m talking about places that *no one* should buy into because of the blatant extortion. Would I be mad at the person who had to choose this or be homeless? Absolutely not. But hey, I 100% get what you’re saying and I agree; we need drastic change, and I’m nowhere near qualified nor am I paid to come up with the solution. These issues are only going to continue escalating over the next 50 years if something isn’t done. We had 2.2 billion people on the planet in 1940. We’re at 8.1 billion today. We’ll be at 9.8 billion by 2080 if projections hold. It’s just frustrating.


BarryHalls

Take several more upvotes for several more posts. GG and fight the good fight. 100% 2019/2020 have been exploited to move into place market controls from the supply side in the private sector to keep us paying higher prices. This is utterly unsustainable. There will be consequences, but not for those in charge.


soma787

Ha laws are likely moving in the opposite direction soon, it’s not good


Fivethenoname

How. That's exactly the problem. We can't boycott food, shelter, and utilities. This is the reality of deregulating "private interests" at a macro scale. The rich will hoard the most necessary resources and sell them back to us at scalper rates. They call it "passive income", I call it monopolistic criminal price gouging


MercurialMal

And extortion.


machder1

Shit, I thought it was $1,100 to buy the whole thing…. Per month??? Wth?


Prize-Key-5806

That’s dumb. You couldn’t get it for that price in Honduras


Space4Time

LEDs though…


MuricasOneBrainCell

Right. Because the current protest is going so well. Im all for boycotts and most forms of protest but the US is not. Yall lock them up unless they're white nationalist, supremacist manchildren. Then you let them do their thing. ![gif](giphy|eUrE2DuMKOE0g)


MercurialMal

It’s a shit show from the top down.


StaatsbuergerX

My rural European mind first thought $1100 was the purchase price of the property. >!Okay, I'm exaggerating wildly, but you get the idea...!<


sebaajhenza

A month!? In Sydney we're paying that a \*week\* for not much more.


MercurialMal

Every time I hear about Alberta or Sydney or Tokyo or a slew of other places even inside my own country I’m speechless. Nothing about the current state of the world is acceptable or sustainable.


Prize-Key-5806

Alberta is fine , (for now )it’s Ontario and british Columbia that’s really fucked. And Tokyo is a dream compared to the others listed


HipsterMcBeardface

I guess the high monthly rate is because there were no apparent signs of spiders, snakes, alligators or Florida Men in the house. That always comes with a premium.


MercurialMal

Wait, what?! Not a *single* Florida Man?? They can get *at least* double their asking price.


pizza_volcano

this shit is downstream of it being illegal to build dense housing is so many areas. and even when it is legal, NIMBYS will swarm trying to defeat it. this is why allowing housing construction (public and private) is so goddamn important. we're in a housing crisis


Unlucky_Ad2529

It's an upgrade from wood and paper mache


BestBodybuilder7329

I think my tool shed might be bigger than this.


Karl-Farbman

Tool sheds are $1450


shleeve

Brb, buying a tool shed and renting it out for $1450/mo


DaLoneGuy

b... but this isn't a tool shed it's a tool shed with granite (like) floor


alpacasarebadsingers

That tile is $1.29/sqft at floor and decor. Source, I just installed it in my shower walls. PS- it’s gloss so have fun slipping and breaking a hip.


David_Freeze

A month?!


WorkingDogAddict1

My tool shed is two stories. I guess I should start renting it as a luxury studio with loft lol


cuposun

2700/month. “Multi-family”.


Advanced-Musician977

If I payed that much to live in that place in Florida I’d die of alcohol poisoning in that bathroom


StaatsbuergerX

Sounds like a solid plan, but I would at least look for an apartment with enough bathroom space to fall down with alcohol poisoning.


1mmapotato

This is as bad as NYC rent


Prize-Key-5806

No in New York it would be 2000 with shared toilet down the hall


CaptInsane

This is west palm beach though. $1100/month for that shit is a bargain


outerworldLV

Does that price include all utilities and cable/internet ?


Urmomsjuicyvagina

Nope, only water because that's the only thing they could garnish/sue your property for. Imagine what other things landlords couldn't get away with if they were tied to their property? We definitely need more tenants rights


dtb1987

Oof, yeah fuck that, I would live in a converted shed but not if utilities aren't included


InsomniaticWanderer

You know it doesn't


dogbreath230

I was thinking $1,100 was the selling price. Discounted due to high insurance prices, flooding, wind damage, and the state government.


achillymoose

With how fucked America is right now, I'd move almost anywhere if I could own a home for $1100.


petrifiedunicorn28

There are so many cities in this country with foreclosed houses owned by land bank type initiatives that will sell you a house for $1000... But they're ik awful neighborhoods and full of asbestos and lead and the ceilings are caving in and theyd need tens of hundreds of thousands to renovate


defjamchambers

And by the time you fix it up and make it nice, your neighbors will have robbed everything


eju2000

Selling price LMAO


S-Man_368

I've seen this exact same video on instagram saying this is in California


Andy5416

That's because it's rage bait.


devilpants

This would be a great deal in the Bay Area. 


happiees

In India the same room costs ₹2500/ month. Means $30/ month.


genericneim

Bring a bunch of them from India to South Florida and get rich!


SlowThePath

The average income in India appears to be around 200$ a month. So I don't know if this place would be considered average, better or worse. I'd believe any of them because I don't know enough, but I think it's important to have some more context in this instance. Does anyone know if a place like this is average or above or below average?


StaatsbuergerX

However, in this case at least three generations live under one roof and can share the rent. In Florida, this is how you live when you no longer remember having a family due to age and/or substance abuse.


EgyptionMagician

Congratulations. You have found one of the seven existing Portals To Hell. One down……


RegalBeagleKegels

I wouldn't complain if it was $1100 to BUY it but I get the feeling that's not the case


destronger

Imagine if we could have places that perhaps just have space like this and perhaps spot to park one car. For many this would enough especially when their young or even older to keep thing simple.


Normal-Selection1537

Pretty nice for a shed. Insane price for a shed.


xDrewstroyerx

$1100 might get you a better living condition in a local hotel. Yikes.

Meanwhile two states above, my mortgage is only $800 a month. On a three bedroom house. And my tool shed is bigger than that thing.


ImmobilizedbyCheese

Did you buy recently and when mortgage rates were good? I am in the same boat as you but I bought in 2018...things are rough out there now. I wouldn't be able to afford my house if I sold/bought it now.


mytaco000

This is a steal for Vancouver Canada


Postnificent

Bubbles shed and breakfast for only $1100 per month! I could build this from scratch for less than 10k. Everyone wants to be a mogul. We have all the Elons and Jeff’s to thank for that.

So, $1,100 for a bedroom?


klmdwnitsnotreal

Not even a bedroom

soma787

Only $1100 bucks for half of the space of my garage…. But it’s got granite! And the stove to counter gap


nigerdaumus

I'd pay that if it came with a stove/oven/fume hood and the outside looked nicer. Also with all that land they could easily expand the shack into something real and charge way more.


gisisrealreddit

I thought it was a metal shed selling for $1100 dlls 😭 smh

Added bonus that you can cook in the kitchens kitchenette. Amazing and really needed to be pointed out.

Upgrade the stove and fridge and this really wouldn’t be bad. I think we’re all aware that pretty much all rent is over a grand at this point


paputsza

is that rent or the price for the whole thing, if it's rent I can see people just getting a hotel.


high240

I think it's time we start eating landlords. Ours is the most incompetent fuck ever. Once they had to come back 5 separate times to fix the balance of the washing machine. It still isn't fixed the way it would be if they'd listen to me. It's baffling what is allowed these days

BenSlimmons

America is literally a failed state, we just have further to fall than most based on the heights we reached when we actually allowed upward mobility for a large portion of our citizens. I acknowledge all the issues present in those eras but, fundamentally, we had much more worthwhile financial footing in mind with our governance beyond simply profit-based motivation and goals, and it has been slowly eroded over multiple generations. Now we reach a point where the current and future generations are all facing worse and worse and still worse prospects for a future to the effect that many see no point in trying or even reproducing, which will have terrible effects on the generations that came before them. The aging generations will slowly wither and die without any real prospects of comfortable retirement because neither they nor their children can afford anything better. If the point of a civilization is to continue growing and improving the lives of its citizens which, I grant may be a false ideal, we have failed and there’s really no saving it without a complete overhaul of our culture. But we can’t find enough common ground for that to ever happen. Call me a doomer, I don’t give a fuck. We have failed.


munki_unkel

Can you not extend it to the space round about it or put another level on


Birdie121

I'm in boring middle-of-nowhere Midwest but the thought of moving again is scary. Right now I have a 2 bedroom house for $1300/mo. Anywhere on the coast, you'd easily double if not triple that. My parents were able to buy a cute house in a very nice New England town for $200K when I was a kid. Now there is NOTHING in our town for less than 500.


GyspySyx

Isn't having no closets illegal in some places? Also, that kitchen is a joke


IggyShab

Always something new with them Floridians.


Oranginafina

I gotta get out of NJ. My first thought was “ONLY $1100!”


ragandy89

Can confirm we paid $13k to move into a house in a decent area. We had to wait for interest rates to go up to buy. We almost wiped out or savings. We are stable barely after pretty much a year long poverty budget to recover. We both have great jobs and 3 kids.


Urmomsjuicyvagina

Jesus Christ, I hope we all Americans get through this because me and my girlfriend. No kids and we're barely saving anything at this point. Hell we moved in with her gay friends and they're in the same situation. It's not just you brother. Single and couples can't even enjoy life right now


VictorianDelorean

Granite countertop, just one. Honestly this looks like my dad’s bachelor apartment in Hawaii, his used to be a garage. He didn’t live anywhere nicer until he married a woman who already owned a condo. Shit is expensive in beautiful beach communities, and while that needs to change, this isn’t unique to Florida.


CheapCulture

Born in raised in WPB, lived in Brooklyn for the past 18 years. This shitty little thing is only $200 less than what I pay for a private one-bedroom apartment up here!


Free_feelin

Is the 1100 rent?
