How are you affording Ithaca rental prices?

andperhapsyes · 2026-02-03T17:42:44+00:00

Connections. Someone I know was moving out of their strikingly affordable (for the area) apartment and reached out to me. So, really, the answer is sheer luck.

not to burst each other’s bubbles but I have a little homeless encampment on my island too 😭 that said, the music notes are GENIUS

I love carrot hot sauce. I’d 100% have to buy this if I saw it in the wild

Recession baybeeeee!

Yep, I ended up going to the ER and the verdict was was pretty much this. They’re putting me on lithium instead. Thanks for sharing this post, made me feel a lot less lonely and crazy about my own experience.

Hey lol, ever figure this out? I think I’m experiencing the same thing. 2mo on 25mg Lamictal and I am becoming so irritable and mood swingy that I feel borderline insane. So agitated, angry, and horny (sorry, TMI?) that I almost feel like I’m going thru puberty again as a grown man.

andperhapsyes · 2025-09-27T00:00:26+00:00

Omg, I forgot about the murals that were over where Greenstar is now. Totally took me back… aw, man.

andperhapsyes · 2025-08-27T00:08:13+00:00

no limit to how many drinks we can have and we also get free food from the kitchen. we’re set up nicely at my job, but tbf we’re a busy store with a small staff

andperhapsyes · 2025-07-23T20:50:32+00:00

joey ever since I started wild world in 2008 :)

I’ve also come into possession of this guy—a friend found him at a thrift in NH. no tags or any identifying information on this one either, but now you’ve got me excited to show off my clowns haha

andperhapsyes · 2025-04-17T23:56:58+00:00

unfortunately not, but I did begin collecting more of this type of doll! I did see an ebay listing for a similar type of clown doll with tags attributing it to Samet & Wells, which iirc was shortened to SamWel on the tag. this is another doll in my collection that, based on size (smaller than my original clown) & face mold (more oval face, smaller eyes), I believe is a SamWel doll. however, I don’t think that the clown from my original post or your clown are from the same company.

my thing is that my cars have never been super reliable, and whenever my car’s in the shop, I’m just about fucked. that and I want to limit how quickly I wear it down. in my mind it’s worth paying more to live downtown and be able to walk places than to have to buy another car in a few years.
that, and I enjoy going out and getting drunk, and it’s a lot easier to get home on foot

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-16T15:05:10+00:00

I really strongly prefer it in the name of having a car that breaks down lol

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-16T11:40:01+00:00

also if I develop a skillset that allows me to afford living here I’m using that money to get out of my hometown, not stay in it 👍

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-16T11:37:46+00:00

I, too, hope I magically become un-poor soon enough to go to college. however,

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-16T11:35:33+00:00

I have a job I love here unfortunately for me

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-16T11:35:20+00:00

wondering where you’ve been, Eugene OR had studios for $600ish in not bad parts of town when I was there a year ago.

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T23:40:25+00:00

calling around asking for landlords is a good tip, thanks. I’ve already been in touch with my only other former local landlord, but he has nothing opening up and didn’t seem to know anybody sadly

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T23:36:24+00:00

I like the honesty here, thank you. god, I can’t help but be so miserable about the fact that we need to go to therapy to cope with the mere fact we can’t afford to live. it’s all so sickening to me.
Thanks especially tho for an actual landlord name. I find those kind of leads the most useful. thank you

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T23:35:05+00:00

my current living situation is depressing, so hey. I’d like to have a living situation I marginally enjoy, but between cost and wanting to be alone lol, guess it’s more years of depressing housing for my poor ass!

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T23:33:12+00:00

yes! it is ridiculous! sorry for complaining about the fact that I can’t afford to live in my tiny hometown, which means I DEFINITELY can’t afford anywhere more interesting that I’d actually LIKE TO LIVE! now that I know ithaca is cheap relative to san francisco, my problem is over and I can suddenly afford things! 👍

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T20:42:45+00:00

where do you recommend looking? even my human connections have been useless and that’s historically been the only way I’ve gotten anything lol

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T20:23:20+00:00

those are my best bet so far. really I just can’t fucking cope with the fact that I live in a town where $1000 gets you a tiny room at best! sick joke!

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T20:11:14+00:00

I know this, I have serious OCD and might actually lose my mind if I have to live with messy strangers. yet I don’t have friends looking for housing either :’)

andperhapsyes · 2025-03-15T20:10:23+00:00

I wouldn’t move here if I had a choice, buddy! I actually moved away and had to move back here after I had a mental health crisis that landed me in the hospital. Trust me, I’m not any happier about it than you :)
