The person you were replying to seems to be from Mexico, not Los Angeles.  I 
don't know about Mexico, but in Vancouver, Canada I can get a decent place 
for $500CAD/mo (including all utilities).  In most countries $1000USD/mo for 
a 'decent place' is an absolutely insane price.  If I could get $50USD/hr 
here for Asterisk work I would be laughing all the way to the bank.  Back in 
the hey day of the .com boom I could get those kind of wages for something 
like Asterisk development, but not now.
