in Seattle a solid 1/3rd of the buildings I've toured at this point I would only describe as marginally habitable at best, and I genuinely have pretty low standards

also really looking forward to living in another place where all color has been bleached out of everything and I'm not functionally allowed to paint anything, despite the legal requirement to repaint upon getting a new tenant. idk I love Seattle but this fuckin' sucks lol

Things are cheaper in Portland and we have a blazing arts scene here. Lots of cool cars, too

the only time I've lived in a home that was nice was when I rented half a friends' duplex in Reno, and in my ex's house they owned in Idaho. otherwise it's been more dire every single fucking move I've made. this place I just toured? basically zero water pressure, $1700 a month

when we toured apartments they made sure to let us know that the wheeled AC units were only for showing and would not be included in the rent thanks for that, then.

I don’t understand how we got here other than greed. And maybe it’s all just greed all the way down.

For almost 2.5 times what we paid in Atlanta for a 3/2.5 with a two car and a sizable yard in a gorgeous neighborhood, we’re getting a 3/2 with water damage and a small patch of dirt that’s a block from a muffler shop
