Apartment hunting : the higher the rent the less riff raff? Agree or disagree?

[Anonymous]

Don't mention a house right now. Yes, I want a house but I am very particular when it comes to that. So im moving around to see what areas suit me best. For example, I wanted to buy a house in my current neighborhood when I initially moved here but now the neighborhood has changed and I'm glad I didn't.

Certain areas don't change for the worse their value remains high.

Agree

Disagree

Things go on any and everywhere you go. Based on reviews of more expensive apartments i do see issues but not anything ALARMING just typical apartment stuff like maintenance was late, the office called too late, or my rent went up, Bob didn't turn on the sprinklers, gym equipment needs updating. Now the apartments with riff raff riff raff have alarming things like drugs being sold, weed smell in the

weed smell in the breeze ways, gun shots are alarming. So there is a major difference

When I lived in Norcal I paid alil less in rent then I do in SoCal and I dealt with some dumb asses living above me & would like pocket watch me, they didn't work or do anything & had abuncha loud DV going on up there and Police visit. It took them awhile to get evicted & I still have no idea how they even afforded to be there but somehow they did lol

When I moved to So Cal I now pay 2.5k in rent a month & I see no ghetto low caliber rejects, no loud music being blasted, nobody outside pocket watching you & being nosy nothing. Peace & quiet. I go to work & come back in peace no riff raff, no idiots no nothing.

Only difference I notice is PGE was not ripping their customers off in electric prices in normal BUT Edison here is gouging you just because lolol but that had nothing to do with where you stay lol

[Fuentes]

NorCal*

[Asker]

That's a perfect example of what I mean. The low calibers don't care about where they live nor how they live. I dont get how people could live like that

[Fuentes]

Exactly bro but if you live above people and pay more money their is NO WAY those low vibrational retards can live anywhere near you or by you. And life will be very peaceful.

[Asker]

😂😂😂 well I guess I know what I have to do

[Fuentes]

Thank you for mho

The higher the rent the less stress you Receive.
Yeah I 100 percent agree with that why would anybody in the right mind stress over A expensive Rent that leaves you little money in your pocket.
Let’s just all run around naked and see how Far we get till we Are handcuffed by the Nearest Police officer that possesses Metal hands and Glass handcuffs

[Aerissa_Jade]

Overall I say yes in a way, as if you get the cheapest place you can, so is everyone else and they may be living rent free on section 8 with too much free time on their hands.

They may be criminals, running a honest drug dealing enterprise too, as people coming and going in a low end dump is less to be a problem than people coming and going to a high end building with security.

Plus you get better maintenance when things break, rather than... we'll get you on the list to fix your AC unit in six months... hey look at that, its December now and its blowing cold air, it isn't broken at all.

[purplepoppy]

True but I think you can also tell by just looking at the state of the area and the sort of people who live there.

[Asker]

That's true too Yeah like my apartment community changed recently to add fair housing aka allowing at least a few section 8 people in. It wasn't like this before. Unfortunately, they throw trash everywhere, speed through the parking lot, dogs off leashes. This is my last year here.

[Iron_Man]

Yes that’s also the same thing with personal properties

[Asker]

[Iron_Man]

I’m sorry to hear that maybe you wanna try to move out soon?

[Asker]

So I'm going somewhere where the cost is higher hoping I do not have to deal with this. I've lived here for so long that my rent is like super cheap it's just unfortunate they've moved people like this in

[Asker]

Thanks, my lease isn't up until next year unfortunately

[Iron_Man]

I guess you’ll have to wait it out then in January you can be prepared to make your move and save up some money

[Asker]

My lease us up in august🤣🤣🤣. I signed a 15 month not knowing this crap was going to happen. The longer the lease the cheaper the rent. But I'll most likely break it once I see something that's a wow factor

[Iron_Man]

Oh wow that’s a whole year away. Is there anyway you can get out of it? Well at least you can save up a lot of money and then get yourself a real nice place that you don’t have any rift raft gangsters moving in

[Asker]

Yes by breaking the lease which I'll most likely do once I find something suited for me. But like you said I'm going to save up

[Iron_Man]

Awesome I wish you the best of luck and happy apartment hunting next year or if you can do it soon And come to an agreement with the landlord about breaking the lease

[Asker]

Thank you 😊. I'll do an updated post eventually 🤣

[Iron_Man]

Cool

[Iron_Man]

You are very welcome

[MCheetah]

False as hell. High prices in real estate are just an idiot tax and nothing more. You see how many people live in San Francisco and southern Cali, right?

[Asker]

The professional people with money who aren't tearing up properly, throwing trash on lawns, or fighting outside? Yes I see them

[Sunflower19]

True but you still need to weigh your pros and cons.

[exitseven]

When I first got married we lived in a place in a not so great neighborhood. It was cheap and there were no extra costs for the cockroaches. There were fights all the time and the cops would come several times every weekend

[FilmGuy93]

There are degenerate twats at all income levels, but generally what you're say is true, yes.

[Dinklex3]

I can't say it's always like that. In AK, the apartments were mediocre and it was like you were mostly paying for safety.

[Agape93]

Nope. My rent was 800 back in the day which was expensive for a tiny apartment in a shitty area.

[Asker]

I dont find 800 expensive at all that's actually cheap. I paid 900 in 2017 which to me was cheap

[Agape93]

The average for that area at that time was 500. So yeah it was a lot more expensive

[Charliefretz329]

Mostly true, but there are always small quiet exceptions to the rule when management is good

[AndrésC64]

Absolutely. That's probably due to more expensive rent being located in better parts of town.

[Phoenix98]

Riff raff? 😑

also more expensive doesn’t always mean safer or better. It’s better to look at the people there, the surrounding area, environment, etc.

[Asker]

They tend to have better people who live in them. Now we can't control who lives outside of the community because higher end apartments do get targeted by outsiders who are looking steal

[Phoenix98]

They tend to have better people who live in them..

Ehh debatable maybe better in some ways but they can definitely be worse in other ways.

[Asker]

I think you're missing the point here. So im just going to move on

[Phoenix98]

I get what your saying but feel free to if you wish.

[Jennz6]

Yes, probably true

[imfreeze95]

Some people are low class with good money

[Asker]

That's not the point. You're missing the point

[TroyDT]

Generally yes
