Antivehicular posted:Yeah, honestly, my first thought about that ad was "that seems pretty cheap for the location. Dude can't hold onto sublettors, can he? Gee, I wonder why?" That location is pretty lousy actually because there is no bridge to the other side of that lake, so unless they have a boat, it'll take them at least 60 to 90 minutes to get to downtown Austin depending on traffic.

Look, the seller's master is a very important Lord of the Night, and he can't get his full night's feasting when his coffin leaves him tossing and turning all day

Johnny Aztec posted:It's cheap because there is the unsaid expectation that he is gonna be getting strange on the side on top of the rent. The ad seems like he's looking for a live-in wingman with equally horrible taste, not a girl to live with him. He talks about how he's gonna "hook (his potential roommate) up with so much pussy." e: also what the merciful gently caress who would buy a used coffin

LORD OF BOOTY posted:e: also what the merciful gently caress who would buy a used coffin I think this is a “there are two kinds of people in the world” situation, because my reaction to that ad was to spend five minutes trying to figure out if I had enough space to store a coffin, and fantasizing about all the cool poo poo I could do if I could only get my hands on a high-end coffin at a reasonable price.

Some very cool people slept in coffins. John Donne, Sarah Bernhardt, and John Lennon are three that come to mind.

Still doubt they were ever actually used in the ground, prior to becoming a quirky celeb bed. John Lennon didn't sleep on a pillow that spent a year absorbing a decomposing corpse...

Funerals and coffins are expensive as gently caress. I can imagine someone just be glad that they don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on grammas coffin because this way they can still afford rent this month.

Is it weird? I don't know. But the Worst Apartment that I found when I was looking for a place to move in September has reposted their ad. In detail:  Half-fridge, hot plate, a bathroom-style sink for your "kitchen." Have fun washing your plates in that.  That's it. That's the whole room. With the "kitchen" on one side.  The toilet with seashell lid! And weird tangle of pipes behind the toilet coming out of a hole in the wall. $500/month is cheap in this area, but not that cheap. Generally the bottom for small apartments or basement suites around here is $650.

It seems like the kind of place that might work for you if you're really into a "just come home to sleep" lifestyle, but even then, God forbid you ever try to do anything but sleep in that box. Is there even a shower in that bathroom?

I wish I had pictures of the place my buddy lived for like six months in 2009 as his life was falling apart. It was like a large, poorly built shed finished into a house with the maniacal thrift and expediency of a third world refugee. The ground floor was lumpy and curiously solid, like they'd laid plywood and carpet directly on the dirt. The second floor creaked and sagged so much that I decided my first visit was my last. My favorite part was the bathroom, which was a lean-to off the ground floor. A curtain in the kitchen led directly into the shower, and then you had to step through the shower and open another curtain to get to the toilet area. All bathroom plumbing was done with garden hoses and a baffling excess of hose clamps. The owners sold the main house a few months later and had to tear the shitshack down, presumably because the inspection report was just "Are you loving kidding me?"

I recently went to Ikea, for the first time in my life. They had several complete apartments set up and furnished, from ~600 square feet, all the way down to about 290 or so square feet. It’s both brilliant marketing, and proof that you actually can live nicely in a small amount of space, if it’s well-designed. The apartment in those pictures is not well-designed.

Oh sure. I'm living in a one room apartment now. I find it very cosy and comfortable. However, I also have a real kitchen and a bathtub. I was poking around on Craigslist and found another listing which has the same contact number. Pretty sure this is a one bedroom in the same apartment, which makes me suspect that the "bachelor" is a bigger apartment divided into smaller units.  I've never seen a kitchen in a closet before.  And how about this bathroom set up? This one goes for $700/month.

Those are some of my favorite parts of Ikea. Of course I've never lived anywhere that it's common to have an apartment that consists of a bathroom and a little empty room.

And they're always cluttered with little details and knickknacks that are available at IKEA and will run you as much combined as all the other furniture. I saw a bed there once that had a bunch of straps woven around the head frame to hang stuff off of, and all those straps would have been almost the price of the bed, plus it looked like a budget BDSM setup.

I live in 240sf and it's not bad at all. Everything just has to have two uses and storage is all the gently caress over.

My Lovely Horse posted:They always strike me as lacking storage space. I keep thinking, where do you keep your books and DVDs and stuff, although I guess they're going after the Kindle and Netflix market segment these days. Still, that kinda makes them seem like impersonal habitation pods. Yeah, if you’re living in 290 square feet, you’re just going to have to have less stuff. I find something about those well-appointed small spaces to be compelling, though. Edit: Scathach posted:I live in 240sf and it's not bad at all. Everything just has to have two uses and storage is all the gently caress over. Wow, that’s tight. Do you live in a group home, or some sort of communal living apace, or do you just have a tiny apartment?
