    when my partner and i moved to the bay area in california we didn’t qualify for a 1 bedroom apartment that cost $3200 a month even though she was starting a job at $100k/yr. We had to add in a somewhat bullshit salary for me at $50k because my previous boss was willing to lie to help us out.

        wow! hard to imagine turning down a lump sum like that… but i can also see why they might because once we got our apartment at 10 months in they sent out the renewal and jacked the price up another $800 which forced us to move
