On Where the Rents Are Soaring
As someone in the Bay Area (Oakland, specifically), can I get an "ugh"? But also: it is the summer? (This is what I've been telling myself, repeatedly, it's the summer, just wait until the fall! Just wait!) Mainly, ughhhhhhh, though.

I should not have read that at work, but also: wow. That was some powerful stuff and some of it hit so much closer to home than I was expecting. What brave, beautiful women - the both of them.

On When Half Your Income Goes to Rent
Broker fees? What is this? I have lived in apartments my whole life and... nope. Not really understanding?

On Underpaid, Underemployed
A month ago, I stumbled into my building's laundry room to discover they'd raised the cost of doing laundry by $.50. But it's still the same shitty two washers and dryers. But also: seriously, everything IS getting more expensive, my wage ISN'T rising, and it's working my nerves something fierce.

On Where the Rents Are Soaring
@MuffyStJohn: It is a great town, but cheap it is not, for sure. But I've lived out here for several years now... and yeah, I've had most of my moving success by moving around October/November - last move, I actually got out of paying the first month's rent. I'm just hoping the trend holds this next year/two. My current place isn't terrible, except for how its owned by a pseudo-slum lord and I'm over things not getting fixed on time. Also: the mold. So over the mold. (True related story: I just had a friend move to SF who paid two months rent in advance to secure the room. Jungle is about right.)
