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.

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.

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

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.

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

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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.
[eta: This is more typical.]

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I think quality of life is becoming an issue for us.
Amen sister.
There is a lot to enjoy, but we don't do any of them. And I can't blame having Em on that entirely - we didn't do much of anything before.

Punishingly Intricate
7 years ago I had a 2-bedroom house (w/ big eatin kitchen and a back yard) for $500 a month two blocks away from the house I own now. That w
$1200 will get you this, approximately,
in my neighborhood now.
