Another thing that people may not think about when looking for a place to live: curb side trash pickup.

It wasn't on my radar when looking for a place but I loving love not having to walk/drive to a dumpster a few times a week. It's one of those things that you don't really know the convenience of until you run across it.

To a dumpster if there's no curb side pickup and they are too lazy to walk it there. And here trash pickup is something you pay for (~$15/mo) so if you don't pay, you have to drive it to the dump or use the dumpster in the next neighborhood.

I looked at a place recently that was a bit more than I wanted to pay at $1340 a month. But really killed it in my eyes was that it was paid shared laundry. $3.75 to do a load. 2 loads of clothes a week, plus towels and bed sheets and you're getting close to $60 a month. gently caress that.

Just got home from running an errand and found out that my daughter flooded the ground level bathroom. The flooring is "OK" because the water ran down the vent into the duct work. The insulation is totally soggy. Water damage guys coming out now.

2 loads of clothes
1 load of towels
1 load of bedsheets

$3.75 × 4 x 4 = $60

Past that I usually wash my comforter seperately because it doesn't dry well when it's in with other stuff.

I went for $1200 a month plus ~$30 for other utilities, and In-unit laundry. The military has made me hate shared laundry and they never made me pay to use the machines.

I'll use the dryer sometimes in winter because it's a pain to wait for drying racks in those circumstances but yeah

Oh, I missed that it was per week. Yeah gently caress that.

Edit: I grew up using clotheslines, but not a chance anywhere I've lived for the past 20something years. They'll come in full of blown dust (OK & NV), still damp (FL), or reeking of rancid air (UT).

99% of apartments don't have space for that, 95% of condos don't either. It's just not a thing here unless there is big open spaces.

I'd be fine with line drying if I had a porch. Until winter or the wet season.

I'm paying about $650/mo and looking at spending $850/mo max on the next place. most nicer places around here are $1000+/mo. Then pet fees. Then water/sewer/trash. And some split the utility bill for the communal electric (lights, clubhouse, pool, etc).

Maybe I should look at the small towns outside of the city.

Churned butter is basically the best and $50 a month is some good beer.

I play $1k for a 3/2.5 and it's the nicest place I've ever lived in my life.

Moved here because I could find anything else. In Tampa if I need a place next week I can find it today. I learned that in a small town you gotta look like six months in advance at least.

But now that I've been here I loving love it.
