CH2: Nineteen &

Allan on May 19, 2024

Surprise, surprise, Tasha and Elly's apartment is inspired by my old 1BR out in the middle of San Jose. That place was serendipitous, and a really good deal, but the owner raised the rent 8%+ every year I lived there, and was still unhappy that my rent had only increased $400 in 5 years because her other homes were being rented for 2x the amount.

That's what loyal, reliable, and long-term renters get in Silicon Valley: resentment!
