So 2000 a month is greater than the max of the range in the most expensive states.

All values are crazy, don't get me wrong. But less crazy than originally stated.

Even the most expensive states are averaged out between cheap suburban and rural areas and the actual expensive cities where the jobs are. $2000/month would be an unbelievable bargain in cities like San Francisco or New York.
