Michael Moore Helps the NYPD Distinguish Wallets from Guns
Why should anyone be made to live in a police state, where they are considered guilty until proven innocent, and cops have a Judge Dredd power to execute without punishment? While I feel some empathy towards that cop, my sympathy are reserved for the citizens he puts in danger.

I think you must either live in texas or detroit. $450 is rent for a decent room where I live (nor cal). For a house in a decent (safe) neighborhood, near a major city center, you're looking at twice the rent at least. (Please tell me I'm crazy, and you live near San Jose, which is about a million in population. I would move in a hot second)
My water is about the same per month. No trash. Electricity is about the same.
Internet, I don't know at the moment, since it's included in my rent. Transportation costs are about the same, though gas rates are higher.
I, even when I didn't have tickets, have never had an auto insurance bill that was close to $200 a year. My lowest rate was $400 a year, if memory serves.
From surveying the costs you posted, I think rent, gas, and insurance are the major cost differences, due to location. So, you'd be able to squeak by with a roommate, and cross your fingers that no emergencies occur. Not saying that people shouldn't move if they can't afford it.

One reason was stated above: you cannot save significant amounts of money on 15k. Not to mention that the poor pay through the nose for everything, and don't have credit.
So, I may have been using hyperbole, but only slightly. Now, I have known of immigrants from China or Mexico who pack into a single family dwelling. In that case, 15k would go a long way, I suppose.

Thats hyperbole if I ever heard it. $15,080 a year = $1256 a month. I don't care what city you live in you can find a $500 a month apartment.
15k isn't enough money to live on for most Americans because most Americans spend their money like fucking retards...which isn't much surprise, because most American's are fucking retards. It has absolutely nothing to do with cost of living.
We are digressing even further, but most American's don't even realize that their lives only exist to work, make, and give money to someone else. If you are a typical American, you spend 20-30 years working 2,080 hours a year making somewhere between $15,080 to $100,000 and at the end of each year you spend almost your entire paycheck regardless of your income level. It doesn't matter whether you have a hyundai or a lexus, your money (and thus your work, your time, and ultimately - your life) is handed over to someone else with hardly a second thought.
1 bedroom, 3 bedrooms, 5 bedrooms, bus, hyundai, lexus, .10 acres, 1 acre, 10 acres - you think it really matters?
If you are working for anyone but yourself, you're a fool.

^if the coat of living was the same the world over, you would have a valid point. 15k in the US gets you a tent city address.

1) Anyone who would quit a governorship for no good reason, will certainly quit a booksigning on a whim.
2) She was on the bus and heard those boos.
3) If it was a family problem, she would have exploited it.

And I take it you would turn down a Statue of Liberty-sized hunk of gold, since its market value would lower? Governments around the world can make money for free, yet its value isn't zero.
