SHERBET TIGHTS

so this is beginning to get a little frustrating. i knew it would be hard, but that is crazy. the average rent in st. helena is $767, napa is a bit higher and most surrounding areas are a little lower. that is all fine and dandy accept i can't find any of these places that bring the average rent so low. and there has to be a bunch to bring down the average with some of these super premium apartments.



so i went up friday to do some hunting and check out that trailer place...WOW! i was way excited for not a lot of reason. these are your basic old travel trailers. meant for periodic living, not permanent, and the changes tony made to these trailers wasn't what i thought. i don't know why i thought they would be bigger, i know how long 22ft. is and i've lived in a trailer for a few weeks while camping with my grandparents in oregon. i should have known what to expect, but i was blinded by hope, until disappointment opened my eyes to truth. as you can see it is a small community of 6 of these trailers(there is one you can't see), with one more coming in the near future. tony, the man in charge was super nice and was doing what he could to help out some people, but the amount he was charging for what i would be getting is astronomical. there is no way that he still needs to work if all 6 of these are occupied for $600-$650 a month. all i'm saying is the $/sq. ft. is way out of proportion. i tried to keep an open mind, but there is no way, not even temporarily. i would have to constantly duck under the a/c in the middle of the trailer, duck to get in the trailer, learn to sleep in a different way cause the bed is too small, no suki, and i would be getting all of this for $100 bucks less than i can get a full apartment, in town. minimum 600sq ft compared to 50sq ft is a big difference, especially for the amount of money. i would just be giving up alot for nothing in return. lets just forget for a moment that the place is waaaaay small for me. i have a lot of stuff that needs storing. these places have at most, 1.5ft worth of closet space. a tiny fridge with no freezer. there isn't enough room to store my shoes, let alone my clothes, dishes, cleaning supplies, and lets not forget , my weights, my bike or any of the other stuff i have that pertains to my active lifestyle. but lets just say i wanted to buy some frozen foods to keep for a time where i didn't buy food on the way home or fresh food to make, i would have to store that frozen food in a large storage freezer for all of the tenants, and would need to mark it with a sharpie.

i don't want to keep bashing this place, the guy was nice, and there were some redeeming qualities to this place, they just came no where close to making it livable for someone like me. either way, i am continuing the search, hopefully i will have some better news soon.
