Nick and I have one big weight off of our shoulders: we signed a lease on a new apartment yesterday. We were able to meet our rent goal and find a place without too much struggle despite living entirely off of capital (landlords read: "lack of income"). Over the next two weeks we'll be packing and moving and trying to get as much work done in the meantime as possible.
The neighborhood is nice, the apartment is magically bigger than any place we've lived prior, I'll be closer to all the things I usually drive to, and we have an off-street parking spot. What more can you ask in LA? We're not allowed to walk on the landscaped grass, but I suppose that's what makes it greener.
When signing the lease it warned us of gang activity. So we asked the landlord if it's safe.
