This is a really late comment, but I'm surprised at how many people like their LG refrigerators. I loathe mine and am looking to replace it. It leaks every day, big pools of water across my floor. The bottom freezer drawer is constantly frozen shut, and the capacity is way too small for two people who cook even intermittently. Maybe it's all right if all you ever do is stick a container of leftover takeout on the shelf, but I'm constantly rearranging things to fit in a half-gallon of milk. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of small counter-depth refrigerators to choose from, but I would stay far, far away from LG.

Thanks, jk, the notice wasn't up earlier today.

Having grown up in Wisconsin and Michigan, I'm shocked that five cities made the list. There's a lot of reasons why this Midwesterner fled from Wisconsin to the East Coast and can't imagine ever going back. Manitowoc...shudder.

My bathroom tiles look exactly like that, except with disgusting black mold staining every crevice. My landlord doesn't see this as a problem. I plan on caulking the darn things and hoping they don't fall out before I can afford to buy a place that I can actually renovate.

Not my style, but I love those windows/door opening into the small garden space.

If you want the security that home ownership brings, buy a house. Don't expect someone else to subsidize it for you. If you can't afford rents, then you either can't afford your job or where you live. These are the kinds of decisions that adults make.

Short, hot, sweet, and to the point. I have no control over how hot the boiler is kept (live in an apartment) and thus am not going to suffer needlessly.

My craigslist experience has been very hit-or-miss. In New York, there are people giving stuff away and people trying to charge a mint for used Ikea furniture or flat-out junk. You just have to show up and be prepared to walk away. With selling, just getting people to honor the appointments they set up to come look at an item is a real challenge. I just donate everything now. My husband refuses to go on any more craigslist excursions, which pretty much rules it out as a furniture resource for us.

See, squeegee, us manhattanites find 1500 square feet a little frightening...all that vacuuming.

:)

It looks like there might be some sort of glass railing. If you squint and stare. If I'm imagining the railing, I have to agree that that would be one nasty wake-up!
