My lease is up in August, and I just received an offer for a different job in Denver. So, it looks like I will no longer be living in Boulder, unfortunately.



I just started looking at places to move, but for what I am expecting to rent, it looks like I will be paying between $1400-$1500/month. That's pretty fucking high in my book. I can go cheaper, but it seems like once one starts looking outside of the so-called 'luxury apartments' (you know, the ones that have a shitty pool, treadmill, and fax machine which magically, in their minds, becomes a spa, gym, and office center), you are automatically looking at rats nests built in the 1970's loaded with gang-bangers.



I know buying a house is smarter, but we just don't know where I/my wife will be in the next 2-3 years.



So, what are you guys paying and for what size place?

Damn, you just described my apartment in L.A. to a "T". 1 bed/1 bath for $1000/month. Luckily I spend most of my weekends visiting family in Santa Barbara and San Diego, so I'm really only there on weeknights.

We'll get plenty of "don't rent" or "I'm not dumb enough to pay rent".  I don't want to own a house.  I definitely don't need that much space.  I get a yard, a parking spot (two, actually), and I never have to mow the lawn or shovel the snow.  So much as a light bulb goes out, my landlord is on it.  I don't want to pay to fix shit.  I like to make a call, and it's done quickly, and for free.

I pay $333/month in property taxes to my liege lord.  You don't really own your house.  You have the opportunity to pay for it, but the government really owns all the property in the country with the exception of that owned by non-profit organizations.  Just quit paying your taxes and see how long they let you live on "your" property.

I do not.



 




Local range is $40 a year, with a key for unlimited access 24/7.  100-300 yard rifle range, three pistol pits, silhouette range, archery field, three skeet fields, fishing pond and camp grounds.  No RO, tannerite and class III allowed, and backers/steel and the grounds are well maintained.







You're right, though...you win.







ETA: WTF is this about a range "accepting" you?  I'd tell them to sit on it and rotate.
