Where the hell do you live in DC for only 1350
OP I live probably less than 5 blocks from you in navy yard and have a 2 bedroom with a roommate and we pay over $3300 (with utilities included). You got a good deal and that isn't normal for this area

With this logic you could say any city is LCOL if you live in the worst part of the neighborhood lol

HCOL. Per the rankings I've seen, it's usually 3rd in the nation behind NYC and SF.

According to my outrageous rent and monthly expenses, it’s HCOL. Hoping my rent doesn’t increase significantly at the end of my lease due to the surge in rent prices 😭
I paid $1350 for a small studio in DuPont Circle over a decade ago! Usually I think of DC as generally HCOL (yes, I realize NY and SF are more expensive but mostly that’s it)
I wonder the same thing for Boston. HCOL or MCOL compared to NYC?

What are you looking for here OP? We are all telling you DC (and Boston) are expensive and you’re coming up with random, non-realistic one off examples to weirdly prove us wrong.
Cost of living is a know-able fact based on economics. This isn’t an opinion question.
