Some thoughts that will need more detail at a later date

I've been saying for years that I'd never consider living in the Bay Area, at least, not as a single person, because the high cost of living made it seem impossible.

I also said I'd never consider (or maybe not never, but only under dire circumstances) taking on a tenant in my current condo, because having someone unknown occupying my living space, and being responsible for paying me enough to cover my mortgage and related expenses, was too nerve-wracking.

Welp.........

I accepted a job at UC Berkeley and will be moving somewhere within the East Bay within about 4 weeks.

And....as a result I have a realtor screening prospective tenants since a sale of my property is not viable at the moment without taking a big financial hit, thanks to the tanked market in my area.

The Universe likes to fuck with me, so it seems!
