why *doesn't* Chloe have her own apartment at this point, for example).
I have to give them credit for the Chloe financial situation though (let's ignore the new-suit-a-day thing though)-- they've hammered it home that she has financial issues, being on financial aid; is a student "on an intern budget"...so I can buy her not having an apartment in Metropolis. Lana, Lois, and Martha (when she worked at the Talon), iono about them though... Just awkward logistics all around. The only way I can fanwank it is...maybe Lex bought up most of the property in SV anyway and it would be nigh impossible to avpid paying him rent on moral grounds. I don't recall that being canon however, just got the implied impression in S1-S2 that he was acquiring SV property.
