[quote name='Brak']Yeah. My friend (the one who got sued, thanks to his brother) suggested to sub-rent through him -- this was before his brother and his girlfriend debuted their idea.
I wonder if they can even have their name on a lease, though. I thought they looked into that shit. I don't want my

in' name on a lease, involving other people.
Shit-ass thing, too -- my friend and his brother had a couch surfer (another friend), who they were trying to get rid of. We wanted to get a house next door to my current home -- a new house, too -- but we wanted to get rid of the couch surfer, so he wouldn't butt-in.
It was only $900 a month. 3 bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, living room, some weird extra room and a basement. Would have been charming; the shit-ass thing being that it's not available any longer.
I could walk next door for homecookin', too... :B[/quote]
After I graduate from college I'm moving away from california... seems like you can live like a king in the midwest for the same amount of money that a lower-middle class californian lives off of.
So far the best apt I can find that isn't infested with roaches is about $1300 for a 2-2.
This reminds me of the southpark episode in which Kenny moves to russia or something to study singing and his family is well off over there compared to being dirt poor in the US.
