What did Sab find to hate? Very near columbus (one end of the road), actually on taylor street (1640). Sab is much more an LA kinda girl, but more than that the major problem is that she was illegal. And apparently its no fun being an illegal alien. -- Woody

I think our rent was $900 a month, for a 2 bedroom apt in Mountain View. But part of that was that hubs had lived there already for 4 years.

A bit of a pain as the bart didn't go down that far so there were busses involved. Mind you, at least busses actually worked on a sensible system when I was there, rather than how they worked (or didn't) when I got back to the UK. Also a bit of a pain as this was 96 so the i880 was not functional as it hadn't yet been rebuilt after the earthquake for the first 9 months of being there, and we had to go around the 990. Nice when they opened it. > I think our rent was $900 a month, for a 2 bedroom apt in Mountain View. > But part of that was that hubs had lived there already for 4 years. This was a one bed. We moved after a while to stockton and bay for a 1 bed for $1200. Much cheaper in every way. Which was a bit of a problem as for some reason, the sf taxi drivers had a problem with the way I said 'bay', and many times after saying 'stockton and bay' they started heading south and when queried they were heading to Pine. I never got that, but the mac speech to text system made the same mistake, so I guess it was my lack of accent that confused it! -- Woody www.alienrat.com |
