Those are some cute houses. I love the Craftsman one.
What we pay for this three-bedroom condo outside of Philly is outrageous. It's a great town, with good schools, and it's very pretty, but the rent is eating us alive, starting with our bottoms.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OMG, I could afford that.
And then I would freeze to death. Or that thing where you go crazy from not going outside for months at a time.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cabin fever. There are just so many perks to living in Michigan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For some reason, I'd been assuming that Craftsman style houses were a California thing. Is this not so?

Salt Lake City has several blocks worth of gorgeous Craftsman homes. Amy's restoring hers.

After they caught on, variations of them were built in lots of places. There were a couple adorable ones in the New Jersey town where I grew up. But they started out there.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. I'm not sure where I'd gotten that impression, anyway.
They're lovely.
One day, when I grow up and marry a very rich man¹/win the lottery, I want one.

It might not be a bad idea to make up a pro-con list.
Be sure to list whatever you like about LA -- chicken and waffles, seeing ita, whatever. Do not discount quality of life. It's expensive to live in LA, NYC, SF because you're competing with other people who want to live there.

$1500 for a 2 bedroom? Note to self: don't move to LA.
It's the same in Somerville. The place Tom and I live in is $1450, 2 bedroom. People are surprised it's so cheap. Third floor walkup.
ION, that reminds me, we dropped off our LAST RENT CHECK last night!!!!
