I don't have a full analysis, but at least this source points at 1500 to be the high end of the expensive cities in Germany, with public care as low as 100.

So is 2000 a "normal" value in many areas, or a high end of some?

I have the feeling this is inflated and we just accept.

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.
