980sf loft 400sf patio downtown for $1600 a month. We have to pay for parking, so that pushes the total to $1800, but I still feel like we got a good deal.

I have a big print I want to hang over my bed but don't want to frame because I'm also in earthquake country. Anyone have suggestions better than thumbtacking it to the wall?

I just moved into a loft with a ventless washer/dryer combo and it takes three hours to do six pounds of laundry. Plus heavy items like jeans and towels never get completely dry. Oy. I just bought ...
I don't like McMansion kitchens either, but those appliances are old (not vintage, old) and the kitchen is poorly laid out and doesn't look very functional. I adore vintage, but at $699 the place h...
