we sent in our notice a couple of days ago giving up hmc’s rent controlled apartment in berkeley.
a tiny little one bedroom (although with a decent size kitchen and a porch) only a few blocks from campus, off of telegraph. still for an unheard-of $494/month!
it’s certainly a shame to give that up. but hmc’s sister had stayed there through college, and then we rented it out to andy c, so it certainly got put to good and deserving use.
and we kept thinking about holding on to it, in case hmc went back to grad school, or maybe fixing it up and renting it out to vacationers on craigslist, but it all was just a little too much effort for that. plus the machinations of hmc having to keep some mail sent there to prove “residency”.
it’s good to be free of the hassle, i suppose, but still, it’s a little bit of a shame…
