Yes. But it's LA. What would it need insulation for? Most houses in the Bay Area and even quite a few in Seattle didn't have insulation until insulation started to become a more standard item. I don't know when that was, exactly; sometime after energy conservation became a thing.

Actress in the middle looks great. And is that Suzanne Summers?

They could barely scrape together $100 each. If I remember correctly their rent combined was $300 total.

No way could they afford paying $800 each in 2022.

The Regal Beagle's rent would also be sky high in 2022. It would have closed down already. Sadly.

One of the girls worked in a flower shop. The other was a secretary/receptionist.

They would be priced out of the area.

Apparently someone else asked this very same question a few years ago. Take a look at some of the comments.

No popular television show from the 70s would have the members of its star cast living in an uninsulated guest house.

They could live like "Friends".

I think Monica lives in the rent-controlled apartment of her grandma paying $300 or so in Manhattan.

In 1980 I rented a large 1 bedroom furnished apartment with a small garage and all utilities paid for $ 235. It was on Malden Ave, Fullerton, CA, Orange County. In today's dollars it is approx. $ 800 a month. With Santa Monica being a more desirable location, a 2 bedroom there would have been in the $ 4-600 range in the eighties.
