Room or studio - clarification
by Patti 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

I've already received well- meaning messages. I should clarify. I'm looking for a room or studio ANYWHERE in the city. Also, there's a housing crisis, so the demand for affordable housing is intense. $800-1,000 for a room is not affordable for most. Any leads on reasonably safe housing anywhere in the city between 500-750, would be appreciated. Thanks, Patti
