a new level

Since I did not meet with office folks I just bounced over to the website of the apartments I am REALLY considering moving into. The one bedroom was $1299 when I last dropped in on Tuesday. Today that model is effing $1371. Are you kidding me? They raised the goddamn rate $70 since Tuesday. This effing market is absolutely ridiculous. Every place is using the 'median price' as a reason to over price their complexes. The goddamn median is so effin' high because there are 8 building being erected and they are all LUXURY apartments. $2500 for a 1 bedroom. The market is skewed due to all these LUXURY fuckers and poor assholes like us are the ones who are getting screwed. The only places we will be able to afford are on the outskirts of town which means me having to drive 30 minutes to drop Erica off every day. Then I can either drive 25 minutes home or wait at Da Park for a mofo'n hour for my shift to begin.

There are all these new condos showing up all over Oakland and Berkeley and they're ALL super super expensive. Almost nobody can afford to live there and I don't know where all the companies that own them and are trying to rent them out think all these mega rich people are going to come from.

Same with this area. It is blowing up like crazy but literally EVERYTHING being built is "luxury". We have a lot of people moving into the area. Obviously they are all millionaires with a pissload of disposable income
