Reutte commented on Communism Triumphs as Bellevue City Council Approves Light Rail Route.

Please tell me that they will add actual commuter parking/ park and rides to these new routes so the Light Rail can actually be used people who don't live right next to a bus line.

I've got a roommate set up so it's cool. But I'm going to start saving for that elusive day when I can afford a down payment on a little house or something. And dream of fast public transportation.

And here I was feeling pretty damn awesome about getting an awesome new job at ~45k. That's still not enough to live on independently in Seattle? Seriously?

Great and I move back in May and get to try to find an apartment I can afford.

Seems pretty weird that someone would source some materials and not others. Usually it's an all or nothing.

Would it be bad to say that you've got the patience of a Saint? ;)

That's a relief to hear. Considering how much trouble I've had trying to find parking on capitol hill when I go there, I don't think I'd really want to live there anyways. (Nor will I unless I win the powerball so it's irrelevant)

Hahah, well unfortunately I'm not looking but good luck selling. I just hate to think that I'll be stuck moving every couple of years for the rest of my life if I can't manage to save enough up for a house/townhouse/condo whatever. But that's life I guess.

Reutte commented on The Rent Hike.

I figured. I fall into the young, poor, single category and I'd love to buy a house someday but I have a feeling that I'll never be able to. And I can't assume that someday I'll magically be married and rich, though the old part in going to come no matter what. I suppose I'll just have to live with roommates for the rest of my life or rent a room in someone's house or something.

Does Seattle have neighborhoods with small houses that can be purchased on one income so single poor people aren't left to the whims of the renter's market? Or are you pretty much screwed if you're not rich/married/a two income family?
