ok, the countdown is ON!
I've taken tomorrow and friday off work (hopefully Friday will be unnecessary) to hunt apartments.
After almost 20 years of living in this city, I've learned one thing.
--(whoa, that doesn't say much, does it?... ok I've probably learned at least 3 things, but this one thing is important right now)
The "Rental Guide" sucks.
--the rental guide is a "service" here that charges you like $150 dollars to find you an apartment based on your stipulated criteria, and from my experience with them, they don't know shite.
The classified section under rentals is your last ditch place to try to find a place.
The only really accurate way to find an apartment here is to actually get out there on the street on the first of the month and start scoping for "For Rent" signs. The good ones go SO fast, that you quite frequently will see a sign early in the day and then later that afternoon, it's gone.
So that's my day tomorrow... but for now, tonight... this moment... I'm just gonna sit here and drool over this little fantasy
holy shit that would be amazing, and OH MY GOD it has a separate drinking fountain for Morgan!!!
a short little hallway:
a place to practice those long forgotten breakdancing moves:
I think the couch might fit somewhere here:
aaand, they don't take dogs, and it's $3300 / month.
ok, next.

This city has gotten insane with the rents. The sad thing is it is going to get worse as we approach 2010.

Yah, big scary numbers everywhere, and if you think that's bad, try buying something. Hello 5K a month mortgage.
