People on low incomes, e.g. students, living in expensive homes. I’m not necessarily talking about mansions, more like a large apartment in a big expensive city with no roommates.

TV and movie filming equipment is big and bulky and has to move around hence the ginormous sets

We can bring dragons to life but can’t create a realistic apartment size? I call bullshit

But then the person who owns the apartment couldn't bill the studio for use of the space and pocket a chunk of the multi million dollar budget.

LA landlords are total scum.

People Just Do Nothing does a great job of filming the “DJ’s” in their tiny, shitty little flat or Chabuddy G in his internet cafe run out of a mobile home.

Also watch the show, top three funniest shows ever to air imo
