In my city, it's possible to get an efficiency apartment for $500 a month.

Some days, like today, I read the housing wanted postings websites for my local area -- I always end up regretting it
but sometimes it is good entertainment.
Like this one, here's a summary:
"26F [26 year old female] recently evicted out of the [worst area in town] seeking apartment with roommates as soon as possible, private bathroom, must not tell me what to do or restrict me from [various activities] late at night. Must be 420 [Marijuana Smoking] and cigarette friendly. Must allow my three house cats. I'm not looking for a mother or father figure. Cash only please, not looking to be a live in girlfriend or give sexual favors."
That's a lot of demands for someone who appears to be desperate to have anywhere to stay at all...
As for the last sentence, sometimes you have to do what you have to do, even if it involves selling your soul to the devil.
