they just came from Vermont, where my understanding is that you can pay your rent in weed or with a killer drum circle
Awesome. Also, HILARIOUS.

It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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).

Apartment complexes are going up all over the valley as communities vie to become part of Silicon Slopes, the tech initiative that's opening to pull in big tech jobs eager to employ the local workforce that's willing to work for wages significantly lower than the national average (Utah graduates are notoriously unwilling to leave Utah, they don't like leaving the bosom of their large families or the familiarity of a somewhat reactionary worldview). In any case, with new, posh, amenity-filled, expensive apartments going up all over, I'm looking at a somewhat older complex with rent about $150 cheaper per month that's going to want to stay competitive. I haven't toured the place yet, so I'm not sure what condition it's in, but I figure I'm probably good for several years before they want to remodel. I'm at least ten years away from retirement, when things get re-evaluated.
