Jesus it's objectively worse. NY/Chicago/London/Paris/Tokyo you can conceivably and easily nip out to a grocer's, bodega, cafe or pub within 10 minutes of where you are. LA? Outside of certain certain pockets like DTLA, KTown, WeHo or similar walking is tough and if your friend is across town you're SoL without a car.
Rogue is the gold standard but I honestly haven't seen any deficiencies with other smaller brands like Rep or Titan Fitness. I don't know your fitness level, but if you have the space I always recommend the basics: squat rack if you have the time (can also function as pull-up and bench), dumbbells, curl bar if possible, and free weights. I'd keep an eye on used/craigslist listings as well, with the pandemic lifting, a lot of people who spent a lot of money on excess equipment will be looking to unload extra equipment.
Anecdotally, I find even dedicated heavy lifting (1-1.5 hours) does not improve my sleep but similar durations of high-intensity cardio (45 minutes+) heavily improve my sleep even comparing for differing work-related stress baselines. I alternate lifts/HIIT,Tabata and do this regularly (2+ years of 5-6/week workouts) and still have reduced sleep latency times compared to before dedicated regular work-outs. My job is 100% sedentary desk job as well. Dunno if that helps.
