while it's not quite as bad as San Francisco, it's pretty high here in hawaii...
a dinky 1 bedroom in a junk area runs $600 a month... a one bedroom in a decent area easily runs 1,100+ a month and at that price they are immediately filled and rising every year... and these are considered the cheap options... for a nice 1 bedroom you can easily spend 2K here...
it's all very relative and i don't think it was every really low here either... it's just high and steadily increasing...
