Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I know, right? But I think he means the rent is too damn high compared with what a mortgage payment would be on a similar house. I THINK. On the other hand, they just came from Vermont, where my understanding is that you can pay your rent in weed or with a killer drum circle, so they might think ANY rent is high.

To be fair, you *might* be able to pay your rent that way in Northside, too. But we own, so the bank wants cold hard cash instead of bong hits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hee!
He's saying the mortgage is $400 less than the rent, right? Not that either of the prices are $400.

Yes -- like if rent was $2,000, the mortgage would be $1,600.
Or, in weed terms, 20 bong hits vs 16.
(Like I know ANYTHING about pot. Sheesh.)

That is exactly why I ended up buying my place almost a year ago. I'm currently paying about the same as my old rent for a two bedroom apartment. For a place about the same size as what I have now - I'd be luck for a $400 difference.

Could you pay in weed, or is that just limited to Boulder? (Or, from what my brother tells me about Boulder, paying in tacos is acceptable.)

Certain landlords, entirely possible. But with recreational weed easily available, it isn't such a hot commodity unless you are growing your own. (I got totally stoned Friday, felt like I was back in high school).
