I am a really laid back guy, and usually don’t complain about people in my blog, but today I was so pissed that I just have to make this small exemption.
Today I thought I give Brooklyn a try and check out a couple of flats in Williamsburg. I know that it has to be tempting to charge for a share more than it is worth on the lease, but come on, get a grip. All turned out to be small dumps, one of them a rip-off scrooge would be proud of: a stair I was afraid to put my foot on, no working lock on the front door, 4 bedrooms with only one tiny bath and charging $875 for the share. WTF? this place NEVER rents for $3500 total. have a look on craigslist what I can get for $3500 in Brooklyn and get serious.
Guess I will continue my search in the West+East Village/Union Square area. Still a week to go until I have to leave my cozy studio so lets give fate a chance 
.
There just has to be someone out there who has a decent place, at least 10″ by 10″ and below $1600.
most funny thing today: my face when I wanted to close the door of the “flat” after leaving and it just didn’t work

Yikes that place sounds scary… well iif all else fails you can always camp out here on b’way until you find a place that you like.
