Erin. Lord have mercy. That washer dryer!!? I lived without a washer dryer for a decade and towards the end I'd make noises about "being willing to cut off my right arm for an in-building (not even in-unit!) washer dryer" but that setup is really the landlord saying "ok hold my drink"

hoping that you guys eventually find that unicorn 80 year old landlord that thinks that $1500 a month is still market-rate

Do you mind if we share this with house flippers too? Because if I see one more house stripped of its charm to accommodate modern tastes (whatever that means) I may lose my mind.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

If only landlords had to live in their spaces for just a month. Just one month.

"Splurge on that extra ten square feet of drywall" and pretty much all of this made me laugh very hard. Sending you strength and courage on the hunt.
