July 24th, 2017: Horse Door

[Snakeadelic]

For that kinda rent, you'd think they'd fix the place up a bit...like the crumbling bricks, the messed-up stairs, and the fact that it looks like the main door is crooked...

Is this place in San Francisco with that kinda rent???

My great-grandmother's house, where she lived for 63 years, is in the University District of Seattle, and after some serious remodels on both the main house and the "carriage house" that I grew up calling "the cottage", it is available for a paltry $895,000 or so. Cottage included! Came as quite a surprise to me, as the last I'd heard shortly after she died in 1995 or '96 the family elders planned to sell it to a company that intended to level the whole place (it's on a high-traffic corner) and build a convenience store. To quote a John Cusack character, "I guess you can't go home again. But you can shop there." So glad that didn't happen!

For $16,000 a month, the former stable had better have ALL the amenities alongside the history.
