so depressing

Take the $2K/month and invest it. That is the secret. For shelter, buy a van. Live in van.

You WIN!

At life.

Is there a missing link to the Hollywood Hills option that is so popular?

Obviously because its down the road from hollywoodflowers.com!

Not sure why that is mentioned… how often do people get flowers?

Sad, sad, sad. Just take your money and set it on fire.

I live in Los Angeles and this is crazy. 300 sqft studio for $2095? Insane. I hate living in this city.
