also they keep building "luxury" apartment buildings here for foreign students that're basically the exact same size/layout of all of the lovely apartments just with nicer furnishings and they're new for like $1200+ a month just fyi this is in the middle of flyover country and I rent an actual not-methhovel house for like ~$600 or so a month you could rent a new mcmansion or something actually pretty nice for that amount here but hey there's a big screen TV and new carpet in this like 700 square foot apartment and a postage-stamp sized parking spot in the basement garage the city commissioners forced the owner to install (he insisted he didn't need to have parking because "most of these kids walk to class")

in my village we don't have uber. instead we get ripped off by taxi companies who sets their price arbitrarily because there are no laws regulating what a fair taxi price is. idk if its the same elsewhere though.

computer parts posted:what are rent prices like there, i might apply for some jobs there when i graduate next year I left in 2011 but I was living in SW Portland(Multnomah Village Area) with rents about 750-850 in one bedroom apt. It was an average apt. However, no central air in a lot of apts there. I was about 10 min from downtown by bus. East Portland is a bit pricier because of the gentrification. Don't go out to Beaverton and the like unless you can walk to the MAX. It's suburban hell.

a corollary to the "don't rent to college students" rule is "don't rent from people that rent to college students" college student landlords pretty much plan on taking the full deposit every time because most college students don't bother to fight it.

we tried to fight it. the judge automatically sided with the landlord even though the landlord used the deposit to make improvements so he could sell the place which is illegal
