I am looking for an apartment in the Bay Area. Below is the ad we (Kilo + I) are using:
"Looking for a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment or similar in any of a variety of East Bay (and possibly) San Francisco neighborhoods. Both of us have lived in SF and the south bay, (currently living in Southern California) We are looking to return to the beautiful East Bay, tentatively by February 2010. We both have decent credit, and good income. Mid-30s professionals, hitting the sweet spot of our careers, and want to be in the middle of the action in the Bay. Any leads, or ideas that sound like a fit, feel free to contact me. "
Unfortunately, as in many cases, I want to spell out the REAL story, but feel it is inappropriate to tell the truth which would look something like this:
"Two mid-thirties, heart-broken slackers on unemployment seek a kind landlord willing to take a chance. Can afford $1000 to $1100/mo. One of them fled the city in hopes of finding his heart after the end of the most significant relationship of his life. The other took a gamble leaving his stable home of eight years to move in with his longtime girlfriend who threw him out only months after moving in. Our collective instincts are telling us this is *right*. We are kind, hard-working, music-loving + artistic. The Bay is where we hope to find success. If you vibe with this and have something fitting, we'll make a Home."
I can sense the collective cringe from landlords the Bay over anticipating the Fed seizing their property after a 100 plant grow op is busted.
Wouldn't it be nice if Mr Heady McBudstone had a phat pad he wanted to fill with a couple of mellow Lebowskis-in-training?
I can (pipe) dream...
