I'm moving again.

[notfred]

I recently picked up the keys to my new apartment. I don't have to leave the current place until the end of August, though, so I'm not sure exactly when I'll move yet.

For an extra $200 a month, I'm getting:
no roommates (except my fiancee, but she doesn't count)
an extra room
A quieter building (no noisy college students)
A park across the street
A 10 minute shorter commute
A cheaper A/C bill (new place stays cooler much better than the current one)

It's a 2-bedroom, 900sq/ft apartment for $1030 a month, which I think is a decent price. I look forward to living there ,but not moving all my stuff.

no roommates (except my fiancee, but she doesn't count)

Only on the nights that she brings some random dude home.

Is it really worth 2400$ more per year?

A 10 minute shorter commute

That alone would seal the deal for me 🙂

Except for when you let her out of the closet.

$1030 :Q thats alot. My 800 sq ft apartment is like $501/month with gas heat and water...California sucks.

Where the heck in California can you get a 2 bdrm for 1030??? 😕

I live in tustin and I pay $1300 for a 2 bdrm! (well, I'm sharing it with a roommate ... 650 each and all I get is a loft ... so no doors for me!)

Yeah, expensive things tend to suck, like Ferraris. They cost like 100x more than my car did, they must be peices of crap.

:| WTF. Just because I don't over pay for my apartment, means that it sucks? I'm sorry that you live in California where land values are inflated. Get the stick out of your ass. Sheesh.

California sucks because you can get an identically-built apartment for ½ as much in another state. If you could get Ferraris for $30,000 in Oklahoma and they cost $200,000 in California, it'd be a valid comparison. As it stands now, it's not.

You can get an apartment with an identical structure in another state for half as much. You can not get an apartment with the same climate, the same proximity to the beach, or Lake Tahoe, or San Francisco, or any of the other things that people like about California for half as much.

If you judge the place you live solely based on the building you sleep in, that's fine, as long as you never go outside. Once you leave the house, you realize there's a reason they came up with that little "location, location, location" saying. How many people do you know who've gone on vacations to California? Probably a lot. Now how many go to Oklahoma?

I'm not paying for just a 2-bedroom apartment, I'm paying for the neighborhood, and the community, and the climate, and everything else. Someone renting an apartment in Oklahoma is paying for those same things, as well.

Obviously he's trying to defend the "CALIFORNIA SUCKS" thing that you just said.

The reason why California "sucks" because of high rent prices, is due to supply and demand. There's many people here and many people who want to get here. And why do people do that? Because of the weather, the abundance in job opportunities, and ... there's other reasons as well. I'm sure where ever you live is just as nice, but yeah, California is a great place to live, just pricey due to supply and demand. It DOESN'T suck.

 

[phreakah]

california is worth the $$ imo

I never said a damned thing about your apartment, you're the one who started saying that California sucks. What are you pissed at me about?

Gah. Whatever. you didn't say it outright, but your condencing tone implied that since you pay more, your's is better (the whole ferrari thing? that ring a bell?).

I'm really not in the mood to get into a pissing match.

 

[Chunkee]

You live in the same community as one of my colleagues. He moved out there last year and got a great deal on renting a house. Like 850 month. Got a great deal because he and his girlfriend (PhD research doctor) were not students. He says Davis is a nice planned commnunity. I may be flying out that way with my wife in the fall. Very high dollar to live though.

Based on your argument, you could take an acre of land here and build a house on it, and then take another acre of land here and build an identical house, and the two parcels should be valued exactly equally, right?

kick ass! 😀
