Rockstar: Supernova announced.
I read that. It made me sad. I was hoping for a real band. Though, knowing those guys, it should make for interesting viewing.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

Rock Star: Van Halen would have such a fabulous train wreck.

Why don't we all just get some sort of Bay Area Buffista Mansion?
I'll never give up my rent controlled apartment in the gourmet ghetto. The DH has tried to bribe me out of it with promises of a puppy, but I won't give up my walk to work or cheap rent.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Good for you. Bay area × cheap rent × walk to work ≅ 1000 puppies

I didn't even know there was rent control there, Sparky. I somehow associate that with NYC. But since there is, I wouldn't give it up if I were you either.
Ahem, Spidra, I don't smoke. Of course, I don't live in the Bay Area either. But I'd often like to!

Only for those of us grandfathered into the system... I moved here 6 months before it was no longer, so I was lucky.

So, if you moved out, the rent would go up for the next person?
Is the building privately owned?

Yes, and yes. The rent on the apartment would go up to market rate -- at this point, that's about $300-400 more than I'm paying. At one point, the apartment below mine with the same footprint was renting for more than $500 more.
My landlady is a 80 year old woman who loves me because I send her a little note with every rent check that chit-chats about what I've been up to. When my DH moved in, the property manager would have loved to kick me out (amazingly, there's no case law on this -- it's very clear that they couldn't kick me out if I had a child, but adding a husband might break my lease which clearly says only one person can live in the place) but she clearly told him he couldn't get rid of me.

That's so sweet.
Not that it's any of my business, but I think you should stay.
