My apartment near Deloras Park was a one bedroom, full kitchen, one bath for $125 a month. I recently looked the property up. The same apartment now rents for $3200 a month.<br /><br />It was rent controlled even back then. If I had stayed in the apartment I would still be paying $125. Or....more likely would have had a mysterious accident fall down the laundry chute so the landlord could rent for $3200 a month instead of my measly $125 :-DDust Bunny Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115422951538885247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-22817637650594463252016-06-19T18:33:52.021-04:002016-06-19T18:33:52.021-04:00Not a gun.

Odd how a musician I don't care for has a hand in projects that I do.<br /><br /><i> Even if you’re not a fan of their music, you might appreciate their musicianship a little more.</i> Yeah, exactly what I meant.windbaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849477338372901623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-25592520463915962892016-06-19T17:34:36.366-04:002016-06-19T17:34:36.366-04:00I forgot to mention, the dad died a few years back...I forgot to mention, the dad died a few years back and left the house to the Uber driver. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-47200664972911947772016-06-19T17:33:24.686-04:002016-06-19T17:33:24.686-04:00ricpic, We were in SF last month and took Uber to...ricpic, We were in SF last month and took Uber to dinner. The driver was from Costa Rica originally. His father divorced the guy's mom, moved to the US, bought a house in SF back in the 50's for 39k. It's now valued @ 4.2 million. The guy said he is going to sell the house this year and move to Costa Rica where most of his relatives still live. I'm thinking to myself, that story won't get you many tips. But, I duked him a couple bucks anyway. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-23264868471400554542016-06-19T17:29:10.782-04:002016-06-19T17:29:10.782-04:00I liked the documentary.
