I was renting a room for 4 years while living in Bay Area, just because every time I've tried to rent an apartment I couldn't stand there: it smelt like a crap, it looked like a crap, it felt like a crap. Why landlords don't care to the level, that they are ready to get money from people in exchange for crap? Why they suggest to us to live in the conditions, they would never live in, by themselves?

    The bay area is a horrendous housing market. Asking why the available apartments are crap is like asking why companies with no competition sell overpriced products and have bad customer service.

    Because they don't have to.. The bay area quit building enough apartments and condos in the 70s, so the old rich people who own them will never need to make them nice..

    You can rent a house too, I am not sure why most of the people obsessed over apt. I find houses cheaper than apt, also houses are independent too no shared wall.

    Can you be more explicit about the crap you smelled/seen/felt ? What exactly was it to be that bad ?
