So what's the 411 on a bridge rental home until the madness subsides?
A storage unit and some RTTs on the Jeep’s I guess.
Buddy in Seattle is in a similar situation. They’ve been priced out on a few houses they put offers on, and their lease is up in June or July. He wrote a detailed letter to their landlord asking to go month to month, offering to pay extra, etc., while they continue their search and landlord told them you can sign for another year or you can :gtfo:

No, really. Pardon if I'm missed the conversation already. What is the price/point/availability of a SFR you would be content to ride out the storm in?
$2500/mo if you could find one. Then finding one that allows dogs is another hurdle to overcome.

Might be worth adding to your search.

Yea, I'm done paying big money for vehicles. There's no point, just lighting money on fire. For me, a truck is a tool that doubles as transportation. If I leave my employer, I'll go buy a $10k thing rust free from out west and drive it into the ground.
Even if we end up going back to 2 cars at some point, I don't expect to spend 5 figures on one ever again. There will be worthless ICE sedans/coupes/hatches available for at least another 20 years so :whocares:

I'd be fine with a Scion tC or whatever random thing that no one wants.

Get a therapist to certify your dogs as emotional support animals... with your feelings you lay out on here, that would be no issue. Fair housing stipulates they can’t deny or charge you extra because of ESA

There is no certification process that any dog needs to be an ESA or SD. Ridgeback is a SD and the Boston is an ESA on our current lease. It’s just way fucking easier to not have to deal with attorneys and fight that fight again, for a place we don’t even want to live in.

Back before COVID when I first started wanting to bike everywhere to save money/pollute less, I tried public transit. It really sucks, the bike is faster, better for you, cheaper, and cooler. Only downside is being sweaty when you get somewhere/having to ride in regular clothes.

I'm sure I will be back in FL in the future, in4DFDride (of two people I guess, unless others want to come down).

Yep, just keep renting forever as housing continues to skyrocket out of the reach of plebeians.

:word:

My only real concern with biking in the city is the same concern I have with driving: parking is a pain. Even more of a pain in some ways with a bike since they're so easy to steal. I guess in some places you can just roll the thing inside as if it's your shopping cart :doe: - dunno, I've never had a bike in a city.

It's a PITA because you have to carry a lock and cable around, and lock it up EVERYWHERE because it WILL be stolen if you don't lock it. That's the annoying part.

When I lived in LBC, I rode my bike EVERYWHERE. I bought a beefy lock for it and locked it everywhere. I met a Japenese student one day randomly outside the library looking really confused. He said that his bike was just gone and he couldn't figure it out. I told him someone probably stole it. He asked why someone would touch someone else's property like that. and I just :lolol: poor guy, apparently bike locks don't exist in Japan.

I ended up becoming friends with the dude for a little while, then my leechy former roommate got him evicted from his student housing and things got weird.

Only in the summer, I was just there for 8 nights, not a drop. Lived in Miami for 5 years as well and it is generally super nice October-April, decent in May, June, September, and meh in July and August.

I think it's way easier. you just lock it up but that time is saved in circling the lot, finding a spot, walking, etc. You just roll right up to the front door and lock it to the nearest pole/rack.

Nah. You'll find one. It took us forever. Between the rona, scumbag realtors, and the sellers market, it takes a while. We looked at a ton of places.
