Looking for an apartment is bullshit. "Hey someone please let me give you money to rent back some of my ancestors' land that your ancestors stole" "No sorry we tore down all the cheap housing to build luxury buildings for google and uber. They're sitting empty bc the tech boom that was promised never happened, but fuck you anyway, you still can't live here"
There's a new building near me that promises to basically treat you like a child as a feature on its website. They change your sheets and bathroom soap for you, and have a hall monitor. $1900/mo to share a closet with two other people. It hasn't actually opened yet, even though it was supposed to two months ago, lol. The building doesn't even have a sidewalk yet, just gravel pits.
