Just a little more horrible
I’m heading to New York (by way of Florida) tomorrow to search for an apartment. The thought of it fills me with fear, verging on terror. The vacancy rate is less that 1%, and competition is fierce. Finding the right housing with right mix of variables is pretty perplexing. There’s cost, of course, and then there’s proximity to work and amenities, safety, space, and character of the area. Throw in brokers, scams, slums, and sublets and you’ve got a real mess.
