No experience with the Home Depot deal, but I'll bet there'll be lots of interesting vintage steel stuff in So Cal that wouldn't survive the Northeast's weather. I'd really like to stop by to check it out but in all likelihood I'll be moving that weekend. Moving again.... didn't you just recently move? Yeah, the hazards of renting and not bothering to ask for another lease. We've been here 16 months. Our landlord needs our place to house a nurse for his ill son so they're booting us. We were devastated when he dropped the letter off because this place is 10 minutes to good San Gabriels riding, 15 minutes to Spaceland and the Echo, and 15 minutes to work. I mean for my hobbies and work this is THE BEST ****ING AREA IN SOCAL. They offered to boot the old lady next door if we matched her rent plus a 3% yearly increase but we figured it would be easier for us to move than her and we wouldn't mind getting a little bigger place. What a mistake being the nice couple. We've been looking for almost 6 weeks now and the places around here are 1/2 the size and now $400 more a month, or they're the same size, dumpier, and $700 more a month, or bigger and nicer and $1000 and more a month. We'd buy a cheap condo but I'm sure sometime after next winter is going to be the bottom of the market. A couple of places we had started looking at recently had dropped $75,000 in the last two months and still hadn't sold, so there's hope that prices will come back down enough for us simple folk to buy a place again. Too much speculation and lots of people still holding investment houses they'd hoped they could flip and now loan defaults have doubled in the last year. If we don't find something soon we'll move down to the future mom-in-laws place in Pedro and stay there for awhile. She's totally cool but it's a drag of a drive to work. We're still holding out hope that we'll find another place cheap place in the foothills, La Crescenta, La Canada, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre or Monrovia. Sierra Madre is our top choice because of trail access up Mt Wilson and it's a nice area but currently there are only 2 places for rent under $2000 a month.

I thought Boston was bad, but you can get a decent spot for a grand, and 2 will get you something really nice, really big or with a view. Anyway, good luck. |
