Where is a 10×10 storage locker $5k/yr? That's a bit over $400/month! About a decade ago, I rented a 10×15 storage locker for $130/month, or $1560/year. Surely inflation has not been that bad to triple the price. Perhaps it's a geographic thing.

Coastal California. Extra space storage. It’s an inherited problem but when I do the math, it’s close to $200,000 in storage costs. Crazy. We are working thru it, but nobody wants your junk, even the good stuff.

Shop around. That is much higher than the going rate.

Thank you. I know there are cheaper places, but this is an inherited problem and the storage facility is secure and dry. With luck it will be gone in six weeks.

Np. I pay just under $100/mo for a 5x10 in Santa Clara, and I know I’m also being overcharged (similar situation—too much work to move and I don’t have reason to be there more than a few more months… except that I’ve been saying that for years now).

$400/mo is highway robbery.
