Jan. 3rd, 2014 02:15 pmI made the mistake of telling Mum I was starting to look at apartments again, and then of referencing Chicago Apartment Finders.
Let's be clear: real estate is full of cheats. I don't know why, but it is. Liars, cheats, and con men. Maybe you know an honest real estate/rental agent and good for you, but they are in the VAST MINORITY so I don't want to hear it, just cherish them while they last. In my world, you rent an apartment at your peril.
So the goal is not to find an honest rental agent. The goal is just to find the least dishonest one. Which happens to be Chicago Apartment Finders and yet.
If you go to the Chicago Apartment Finders website you will be able to search and find a wide array of really luxurious and surprisingly inexpensive apartments. You know why? Because none of them exist. I've asked. They won't rent those apartments to you because they're not real. They're just "examples".
Mum has spent the last four hours combing through the examples and sending them to me despite multiple emails that those apartments do not exist.
She's also really into Bronzeville, which would be fine if ANY BUS EVER went to or from Bronzeville. But they don't. And thus I cannot live in Bronzeville no mum I am not buying a car oh my god.
So many tactical errors made today. So, so many.
