finding a place to live Monday August 16
finding a place to live has been a little more difficult than i had imagined. what this community is lacking is a cohesive, craigslist-style way of easily finding what's available and what's not, where. unfortunately, i don't see an initiative from any of the real estate companies to produce such a website: certain landlords bank on their popularity and name despite their insufficiencies as landlords. thus, if students or other apartment seekers could level the market playing field, they'd be in trouble.
the other problem is where i'm coming from. we all know that my apartment last year was, without a doubt, absolutely beautiful. i wouldn't have moved from there if i had had a choice... so now, wherever i go, it has to be at least half as nice and/or convenient as that place before i'll even consider it.
i'm spoiled, and it's keeping me living on the foellinger, wpgu, and leslie couches for a couple more days.
