Boy, I tell you what... [View all]

I have never been in a situation like I am in as far as trying to find a sensible apartment or townhome that we can afford around here. And, it is not just that no one wants to rent to anyone that is not worth at least five digits a year, it is the constant realization that the whole thing is like a mobster trying to get his boss to not kill him. It really sucks. And, it is not looking good.
