The background you posted pretty much answers all of that discussion as I would have expected. A $2000, 2 BR with bundled utilities / cable / internet (which I also have) really makes the rent price look more affordable. That's actually a steal when you consider all central Chicago rents right now. Plus it's a new building, plus it's got amenities, plus it's near a transit line, plus it's in a great neighborhood location.
