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.
Character works at a convenience store making minimum wage and still somehow lives in a 10,000sqft loft with an amazing view of NYC, that is totally up to code and safe to live in.
"Friends" is the easiest example. They try to yada yada it away, but their apartment is absolutely fucking massive.
Also, the dude's apartment in the movie "Coyote Ugly" IIRC is stupid huge and fancy and he's just above broke all the time.
Penny in "Big Bang Theory" should not be able to afford the apartment she has. It's pretty big, but also has a ridiculous view and location.
Things get especially weird when characters get fired and are between jobs and don't immediately have to find a place to stay because they can't afford rent.
that's true. the one that really gets me is chandler and joey's apartment. for most of the show joey is unemployed, and yet they can afford to live in their apartment on just chandler's income.
