nows a time that something akin to a crashpad would be useful. Searching for apartments is taking much longer than I had anticipated. Any 3 bedroom places seem to be either:
1) out of my price range
2) disgusting/filthy/falling apart
3) income controlled.
This is very discouraging when I see that for $800 I can get an apt for just myself plus liberal use of air conditioning plus hi-speed internet and cable tv.
