You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Because books.
Todd, $3,900 for a 1BR? I figured D.C. was expensive, but wow. Good luck on the move!
Congratulations, msbelle! It feels like everything is falling into place!

Amy, pretty much all new construction/renovation is for "luxury" housing. And they're going to do a major overhaul of a 1929 building (which was built as luxury housing at the time - great timing, right? - but has not been well maintained). They're going to rip out walls that aren't load-bearing, redo the wiring and plumbing, put in completely new kitchens and bathrooms. It'll be nice, but I can't afford that. Since I'm leaving after many years, I'll be getting a nice buy-out ... much of which, I assume, will go to taxes, but I should be able to get some new furniture out of that.
