Is rent swallowing my income? Can I afford this on $60k?

I'm feeling really stressed about my rent situation. With my kids off to university, I’m thinking about downsizing. But with rent eating up 40-60% of my income, the 30% rule seems impossible! Is $2400 a month realistic on a $60k salary? Something’s gotta give!
