man apartments are way more expensive than they were 2 years back when i last looked :<
It's because a lot of people are getting kicked out of their houses and driving the rental market up.
I just finished my apartment search, and there is nothing else near where I live.
So I am moving to St. Pete next month, where they overbuilt everything before the real estate crash.
But, if I may, if you found an apartment in Tampa with a yard and it's NOT on Bearss and Nebraska, then that is at least worth thinking about.
Where is it?
much closer to the university
I have a couple of "i'll settle for this" options good to go, but I'm gonna look some more, still got a while before I move out
ps guess who's helping me move
(it's you!)
I accept.
I meant to add "for only 700" to the above. When I was living on Hillsborough/Memorial my less than stellar 1 bedroom there was more than 800. USF is located so oddly that it's hard to find something in the middle.
Have you looked right on the corner on Bearrs and Bruce B Downs? There are one or two college-related apartments there that seem decent, at least nicer than what's on Fletcher.
used to live actually RIGHT there. it was expensive even way back in like 2006
500 per person for a 3 bedroom when i lived there
i AM considering a roommate MAAAAYBE, but I think i've lived alone too long for that
"Our service is really popular and all, and we're making lots of money, but wouldn't it be cooler if we put forth the same amount of effort and made less money? Yeah, that'd own."
Well it isn't all about them is it.

I want to do with you
What spring does with the cherry trees.
so they want me to buy an apartment that I have not even SEEN
That's typical.
One place I looked at (and which has called me no less than four times) is set to undergo renovations that replace basically the entire interior of the apartment except for the walls... but they have no model with these changes.
But they are quite adamant.
My favorite place that I would choose if I had someone who wanted to drive me around all the time (like a wife) was in South St Pete overlooking the bay behind St. Pete Beach.
And when I say overlooking I mean I could throw a tennis ball from my balcony and have it land comfortably in the bay.
But it's so far away from everything. And expensive. Two strikes!
And then what? Do you really think that people will subscribe to individual movie streaming services with Fox, Universal, Paramount, Warner, Disney, MGM, Sony, etc. each for like 5-10 bucks so they can have a service comparable to Netflix? Hell no they won't. There's no way it will succeed.
I never said it would necessarily succeed long term, I was just pointing out they could ruin Netflix if they wanted to. Again, look at how digital distribution of music has evolved over the past decade. It's better than it used to be, but the recording industry has fought it every step of the way and there are still lots of problems with the current systems that mostly result from the recording industry not really understanding how much it can benefit them.
So yeah, studios that are mostly led by old white dudes that are confused by the internet could very well fuck up digital distribution of visual media for years to come just because they're afraid of the future.

They could if they want to, but there's not a lot of reason for them to want to. Netflix is still insanely profitable for them, and there's a very real chance that any studio that tried to go rogue and go all proprietary on everyone would be up shits creek.
It's pretty much exactly 'Hulu, on your tv, but you pay for it'
I mean, I did have to pay to get Hulu on my TV, but it was a one time cost for Playon, and I get to watch everything on Hulu plus extra if I want to bother with other channels.
The women thing is surprising given the fact that my industry is dominated by males (accounting). Clearly I'm okay with minorities being hired and whatnot, I just don't know if I feel good about the fact I potentially edged out a white candidate because I was born with an awesome skin tone

And even if I did, there is no way I'd wake up in the morning and NOT die of shock instantly.

But my new apartment not only does not have two bathrooms but now it only has one bedroom.
But... it costs more?
Wait a second this doesn't make any sense at all!
I never even saw their apartment I saw a show apartment
so they want me to buy an apartment that I have not even SEEN
no
no I don't think so!

Coran Attack!
That and white people
Now if minorities naturally beat out Caucasian candidates, then I'm all for it. Then again, 80% minorities and 55% women seems unnaturally high.
Coran Attack!
(well I mean I don't see a problem with it even in manual labor, just that it would in fact be incredibly odd to have over 50% women doing that)
Because that's normal
We should have formed a club or something.
A lot of women worked there and foreign contractors.
I am using "foreign" as a politically correct term for "guys from india"
What do you do?
Coran Attack!
White male accountants, for far too long in this world, have been oppressed and subjugated by "the man".
I personally look forward to the day when they rise up as a people, and slip the bonds of racism and poverty.
Asian joke.

We're working on it, okay? We have to finish up this cost/benefit analysis first.
