Paying 205 now living with 5 others in a 6 bedroom which works out pretty well. In 2 months it will be 200 even living with 2 others in a 4 bedroom and it's my friends house he just bought but further southwest.
The key to living cheap in philly is big houses with handfuls of people.
That and the veggie trucks on 44th an walnut.

I share a crib with my lady in Rittenhouse for $750 or $377.50 each. Locust Real Estate is the people to talk to. They own a bunch of incredible (history-wise) houses that aren't kept well, but for a one bedroom at that price I'll live with the leaky window.

I recommend Queen Village. Society Hill quality at South Philly prices. And you're perfectly triangulated to hit any one of a number of prominent cheesesteak joints. Speaking of, maybe I need some Jim's...

I'll be in pa, west virginia, virginia, ohio, and some other places.
Also, if anyone is interested, I need to know soon.
Only rule is, no non vegan food in the house, no tobacco/alcohol/drugs in the house either.
Other than that, it's all good.

you're all haters.
Maybe some of us just want to see real resistance to real societal problems, maybe some of us believe in active resistance.
with how ****ed up everything is in modern society, the absolute least you can do is not participate.
