So it looks like our plans to move to california are falling through. Dez is currently out there, all her stuff in tow, trying desperatly to find a place to live, since all the places we had found oun our early house hunting trip out there turned us down. Well, we were approved... we just didn't get it since their fucked up system lets them

Threaten to contact the fair housing organization on the grounds of discrimination for everything you can think of, being female, a student, etc...

Also, when you put in an application you should ask where you are in queue, because technically if you are first in line and they don't run someone's application at the same time you should get the apartment. I'll double check that with my mom, she's in real estate, but I'm almost positive that's how the system works, make them tell you where you are in line then they can't pick and choose.

Oh we have... we've threatened to sue their asses but they always pull some buerocratic bullshit. We are rarely actually able to talk to somone in charge, it's always some mindless underling who can't tell us anything.

And as for the second part we've known where we stood line, but they will wait till they have a huge pile of applications before they even start looking at who is qualified, and then from there they send the stack of qualified applications to the owner who takes their own sweet time in arbitrarily chosing who gets it.

And really there's more to our change of plans than just not being able to find a place to live... we're frustrated with the town, we're appaled at the cost of living (8 bucks for a jar of peanutbutter???) and we're coming to realize just how attached we are to the midwest.

awww, *hugs* I'm sorry that plans aren't working out then. What are you guys thinking for the next step? Oh and agreed on how much CoL sucks out here... *is trying to find a second/third job*

Eh probably next step is Wisconsin take two. Looking at a few of the state schools up there. And failing that going to a community college here in Iowa maybe.
