CA rents skyrocketed.
This is not an isolated incident.
A small 1-bdrm is $2000 in LA, not in the best part of town, just an average location.
Ping.
—— and next week there will be 10 meskin families living in it and using it for a mailing address. It’s a common scam in border towns.
Our new Rescue kitten was born and lived under a Shed ,LOL
btw, the guy that spearheaded the 'Tiny House' craze was slaughtered in the ME along with his girlfriend. They thought it would be a good idea to bicycle through those 3rd world sh*thole countries to show that us mean westernized people vilify the savages unnecessarily. I don't think that plan worked out too well. They were plowed over by a vehicle driven by a ROP type. oops.
they made their shed.....let ‘em lie in it.
After getting out of the Army my first STUDIO apartment was not much bigger than this.
If it meets the building codes and someone is willing to pay the rent, what is the problem?
That rates out to $3,610 in today's money.
They could get $1500 in the San Fernando Valley
I saw then renting pods/bunk-beds in Ca for 1200.00 a month.
I would pick this any day. I think it’s cute.
The article was funny. I actually chuckled at the responses of indignation.
*’This clown will find some hick from the sticks to pay this, brag to his neighbors and set the precedent for others to charge this. SMH.’*
This person thinks “hicks from the sticks” are stupid. Let me tell you, we are a lot smarter than we are given credit for.
First off, we won’t pay that kind of money for that size place. Maybe $300 a month? Around here where I live, $1050 a month gets you a home that’s 2500 sq ft and an acre of land. So who’s the stupid one?
Yeah, but is it a She Shed?
Area is very dense. Location location location, if someone really wants to live in that area that’s not a bad way in. Of course, if you want cheaper/better then go elsewhere. Given zoning, that listing exemplifies the reality of carrying capacity of the area being strained.
In San Francisco, they live in pods with paper thin walls and communal bathrooms.
U-Heights trendy, gay
True. And a natural result of out of control county property taxes voted in by those same idiots. When an owner has to pay $400-$800, a month, just in taxes, rents have to reflect that. Add in mortgage, liability insurance, wear and tear and street utilities and garbage and the profit margin gets pretty narrow on a $1600/mo rental. Around our unincorporated area we pay taxes ranging from $400-$700/mo for the privilege of living in the county. So rentals have to be two to three times that to cover costs and show any profit at all. The road to cheaper housing starts with major restructuring and downsizing the budget of the county govts to get property taxes back to more realistic levels.
About the size of a Carnival Cruise stateroom?
