Hmmm…there’s a unit one level down from the one we put an offer on. Same dimensions. My mom’s scouting for me since she knows what I need (light, space, balcony, security, location) but she tells me she doesn’t think the bedroom will be big enough for my bed (Cal King), and even with 2 bedrooms, the place won’t really be big enough for two roommates to co-exist. I know 2 bedroom\/2 bath is supposed to be the minimum of good investment, but I think given the real estate in SF, a 1 bedroom loft with a good layout in a solid location would be just as good of an investment. If a room can’t even fit a larger bed, it’s a pretty small room. I would almost rather have a 1 bedroom with better use of space. Cramped quarters = cramped thinking\/cramped feeling. Right now, even though I’m living in a studio that’s very small, because of its layout and its large balcony, it doesn’t feel cramped. That makes a big difference in psychological and emotional well-being. Especially with someone like me, who ties particular meaning to the idea of home and haven. If my home isn’t a place I can feel absolutely comfortable and safe retreating to, I end up feeling stuck between worlds with no dominion over self and reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
