Moved too soon, I guess

Just to rub my nose in it, there is a 2BR available in a building I lived in back in college. It’s a nice building right on top of Nob Hill, and it used to be a rat-infested fleatrap, but rumor has it that the owner actually lost the building for repeated code violations. I always thought it could be real nice if they’d just fix it up a little bit and take a tiny bit of care, and from the outside, it looks 1000% better.

$1700 for a 2BR; that’s out of my range to be in by myself, but I have a review coming up so who knows. The only real problem is that I’m locked in to my lease for another ten months in my oh-so-fabulous mansion. So I’m halfway hoping that Bush gets elected so the economy will still be in the shitter when I get out of my lease. If the economy gets stronger, the SF housing market will become less renter-friendly. Let’s have recovery, but not for another 10 months, OK?

I guess things always take a little bit of time, so it’s probably safe to elect Kerry. But if things get better and it becomes hard to find an apartment I’M BLAMING THE DEMOCRATS.

I keep on having Nash the Slash’s tune Citizen run through my head:

I don’t want a big house
That would split me in two
Don’t want to be captive
In some Xanadu
I don’t want a Rolls-Royce
A computer will do
These rapid transitions
And a connection to you.

In 1982, Nash was talking about a computer instead of a car, and “a connection to you”… think maybe he was a BBSer?

Anyway, yeah, the big house is driving me nuts.
