Open Thread: Apartment Hunting Sucks
Apartment hunting sucks.
Obviously I think Sheepshead Bay is one of the most amazing neighborhoods in New York City. But landlords around here all seem to think their mildew-lined windowless basement apartments are on par with penthouses in Frank Lloyd Wright-designed buildings perched on a mountain top with magical views of the Empire State Building in the foreground, the Eiffel Tower in the back, Mt. Olympus off to the side and millions and millions of rainbows raining down confetti on a beachfront packed with bikini-clad Brazilian models.
Get over yourself. Your apartment sucks, you charge too much, and your requirements are a joke. Can Sheepshead Bay real estate get a reality check, please?
