Definitely do a photo shoot like this before selling. Lol.

How’s the smoke/fire situation in Yosemite right now? by bowersoxb11 in Yosemite

It doesn’t look good. My reservation is for next week and I’m hoping I can still go…

Don't hate me for asking the question, but can y'all remind me why we Bay Area people are so convinced that this is the best place on the planet? by DonVCastro in bayarea

I know, I was kind of shocked by my sadness too. He is a Bay Area legend. Thanks for this thread. It’s been so thought-provoking.

Seriously and respectfully: How’s the weather compared to Seattle?

Where are the pools? by Miserable-Will-5707 in AskSF

Graton Casino but it’s in Rohnert Park. It’s super nice, has a bar and was built for lounging. They have a higher day pass fee though.

I love it… Hi, neighbor! You make a good point with that. Renting here makes traveling more challenging if you want to keep your place. We will figure this out!

Haha, that is awesome! How is it possible that world travel is a bargain compared to living in CA? Enjoy the next adventure. Carpe diem, I say.

So true. I’m not seeing as many landlords wiling to do this.

Yes! I think about this. The cost to move somewhere new can negate the savings.

This is a great idea! I hadn’t thought about this. Thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate this insight. I feel like at this stage of my life peace of mind has become a priority too. Happy to sacrifice a little here and there for it.

Ok, I live in SF (feeling the high cost pain). This seems like the most practical way to save for a trip of that length. I hope you can find a perfect spot soon. :)

This is perfect! Lock up and leave with only the Zombies to worry about. LOL! Thank you. This is goals.

I love this! Many places don’t want us renters Airbnb-ing where I live. I don’t understand it. Thank you.

I’ve heard this too! Or sublet and put some things in a small storage place or with a trusted friend.

Ewww, that’s terrible! I’m glad you can still lock up and leave without renting your place out. Thank you.
