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).
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

A note to all of you encouraging DH about the harvest-gold recliner clone on my facebook page? NO. No no no no no. no.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We're paying less in a mortgage than we were in rent, but that doesn't take into account a down payment, insurance, property taxes, and having to fix things when they break. Plus, yard maintenance.
Mom was here today and I was able to get in both a nap and a shower, so I'm feeling slightly less stupid than earlier. I've been taking Allegra, but I may have to give in and take Benadryl tonight, which I haven't been doing because it makes taking care of ltc if she wakes in the night harder.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm on the hardcore allergy stuff, although a lot of it comes from asthma and a doubly deviated septum. (On the scan, my septum looks kind of like the letter "S" as drawn by a kindergartner.)
So -- Symbicort inhaler, plus Fluoxetine and Azelatime (sp?) nasal sprays, and surgery next month. Meanwhile, lots of coughing, constant slightly stuffy nose, chronic fatigue.

Yeah, a $400 difference could get eaten up right quick.

Punishingly Intricate
Housing in Boulder is not Bay Area expensive, of course, but it's pretty dang pricey compared to most of the country.
