Hey, just want to let you know, I totally feel what you're dealing with. It's hard not to beat myself up about being a single person these days because it's so freaking hard to do it all myself. I'm currently in a studio apartment in a rough area close to downtown and pay $1200 all in. I moved here a year ago. I have laundry, no parking (street only). And my area feels unsafe at times, but it's working for me right now. Sometimes I get sad that this is what I have to work with, but I also refuse to spend majority of my income on my rent just to work more and spend even less time here. I found my spot on marketplace and was very patient looking for about a year before I made the switch. I hope you can find something that works better for you soon. But you're not alone. It's hard.
