top five reasons i won't rent your apartment.*

1. All the windows face brick walls.
2. The bedrooms have no windows.
3. The bedrooms are underground.
4. I would only walk home alone at night if I was carrying mace and a large heavy object.
5. Any of the above, at a price I still can't afford.

*Based on real events. (Kill me now.)

8pm update: We saw an apartment we love! In a great location! For the right price! Everyone pray that we are approved. I'm serious -- PRAY.

I always fantasize about better homes, but every time I actually move, I remember how moving is the worst thing in the world, second only perhaps to being stuck in an airport indefinitely.

MSI: Yes. Thank you so much for lessening my moving anxieties.

Becky: Not yet! We still need credit checks, etc. Don't jinx it!

Reasons why apartments for affordable prices in great area's might be problematic:
1) 5 story walk up
2)Right above a bar
3)You can feel the subway through the floor boards
4) A family of 6 lives next door and has a crying baby that you hear through the walls
5) The bedroom entrance will be limited when a bed is placed in the room..
any other suggestions.....
