Just be glad you’re not living in L.A. I sold my house and was looking for a place to rent in Westchester, just north of LAX. All the rental homes are priced over $3k a month. In fact, we looked at one property that was thrashed by three college students, and the slum lord who owned it was bemoaning the fact that he couldn’t get quality renters.
Hello?
The place had no gardener and was overgrown with weeds, the exterior paint was chipped and peeling, there was no threshold under the front door, and the washing machine run off hose was sticking out the kitchen window (all stuff that’s his responsibility!). He wanted $3k a month for this three bedroom shanty shack.
Incredulously, there were three college girls waiting outside to give him a deposit on the place. He rented it that week.
With the lack of parks, terrible public transit, bottlenecked traffic, and outrageous rents, LA seriously sucks. Once my lease is up on the house I’m renting I’m outta’ this friggin place.
