Rent on my studio (fairly large studio with an actual kitchen) is $1150. It would probably be a few hundred dollars more if it were a few blocks further north.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I should note that that LA apartment is in a very very very sketch part of town. Like, I wouldn't live there. Ever.
This is comprable to my area: [link]

Because books.
We had an apartment about this size (a little bit smaller, with not as much light) for $950 -- seventeen years ago. Boy, times have changed.

The status is NOT quo.
I love living in LA.

But you live in the perfect Bungalow o' Love!

My 1-BR apartment (with too small kitchen, in mostly nice area) is $510.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Would you want to remain in So Cal, Gloomcookie?
Nope. We want to buy a house and it's next to impossible here. We're also tired of everything being such a chore. Like going the grocery store - fight through traffic, find parking, deal with a bazillion people in the store. And we don't even live in LA proper. We want to go check Portland out and see if it's a possibility.
I love living in LA.
There are things we love, too. Like every band we like coming to town, gayness being no big, and of course the orb. But ultimately I think quality of life is becoming an issue for us.

Gronk. I overslept, and now I've been staring at my two remaining clean shirts for the past five minutes, trying to decide which one to wear. I don't do so well with the decisions before actually getting up.
So which do I wear? Plain green, or white with a Brooklyn Law School logo?

Where I live $1250 can get you a house for rent. We have a 1200 square foot apartment for less than that rent.
I'm glad you slept a little, vw.
I'm more tired this morning than when I went to bed, too much back pain to sleep properly. Hopefully a nice dinner out tonight will put me in a better mood.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The apartment we're moving out of -- about 600 square feet, 1.5br/1ba, crappiest floors EVAR (very old and nasty tile that's probably laced with asbestoes) and zero amenities -- will be going for $1800 after we're gone, and it's still a pretty fantastic deal for the neighborhood.
