    If I ever find myself in Cali I’m SO going to crash. That is the most badass pad. I will be sure to wear my manticores shirt so you know I’m not a vagrant and I don’t get shot or anything. Haha.

    that’s awesome, i love the nightlife down in san diego. i went to a club in the gaslamp district and we had a blast...and yea, i’ve been no more than 30 minutes from the beach my whole life, i don’t know what i’d do if I had to live anywhere else...

    well it’s 3200 + 200 for the top floor of the house (4 bedrooms), but it’s actually pretty huge up there. the deck is ginormous...

    well its still sick.. and you gotta admit the location is well worth the rent alone.

    Huh? lol With rent like that you could OWN a nice house around here in 2 years. Paid in full. I understand where it’s at and all, but I think that depends on your definition of 'worth it'.

    I mean that’s nearly 200,000 in five years. It’s not a mansion, but that’ll but a nice ass roomy place in most of the US.

    I can only speak for myself, but once you’ve lived in southern California its tough to settle for anything less, regardless of the price.

    I can understand that. I’ve been to some insanely nice places in my life and it’s not hard to imagine why someone would want to be there.

    I’m just saying.. For the terms of that lease you could own a decent house in 5 years. That’s alot of cash to just give someone and not have ownership in return. Yanno?

    njonas said 6 months ago

    the standard of living down here is high but almost innate, we’re used to it and we’ll work for it. I won’t consider putting a down payment on a house until I’m out of uni with a substantial income.

    That’s cool. I didn’t mean to sound like I’m busting your balls or anything. I just live in a relatively low-income area. Brand new 3 bedroom 2 bath homes are like 1000/month. 3200/month would make me crap my pants.

35. 

    njonas said 6 months ago

    oh not at all, it’s all good. yea sometimes i think about how nice it would be financially to live anywhere else. but then i start thinking about how far it would be from the ocean. and then i quickly forget the idea of moving anywhere else...

    man... fuck canada and its good economy. why cant we be on the brink of a recession?!

    godsloadedsociety said 6 months ago

    I rented a place in Toronto right off of Yonge & Bloor for about $2000 a month. 4 Bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, laundry in the apartment. If you look hard you can find what you need

    fucking hate socal ... i love the area, I can’t stand 80% of the population though ... I’ve never been in so many fist fights in my entire life.

    oh, and I’ve got a 1500 sq. ft. 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment with a view for miles and it’s $810 a month with all utilities besides cable included. That’s the entire monthly cost ... I pay 405 (split with a roomie). This is just one reason WA is so much better than CA. :D

    it rains all the time in WA...and it has the highest suicide rate...

    There are lame people everywhere though, not just in california. There are plenty of areas down here where you can steer clear of those types.

    Where are all of these fist fights? I think I’ve been hanging around the wrong areas of LA. There’s nothing like being a spectator in a good brawl.

    What the fuck? I have a 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath apartment with no view unless you count the overflowing dumpster sitting out front, and it’s $1300/month not including cable, phone, internet, or electricity. I love NJ, but it’s way too expensive to live here.
