I have a cousin who lives in LA. He rents a studio for something like $1100 a month, in a decent part of the city. Apparently it's rent-controlled, which is something I've never heard of as far as Los Angeles is concerned.

To be honest, I heard of all this through his mother. I kind of suspect he's lying to her and is actually a drug dealer and his place costs a lot more than he's letting on.
