Via Matt Graves (RT courtesy BurritoJustice) comes this truly unbelievable rental listing. Since it's on Craigslist, and listings on Craigslist, like dandelion spores or red supergiants, are impermanent and ephemeral, I've screencapped part of it below:




... FIRST, if you have $10,500 a month to spend on housing, why the fuck would you give it to someone else? $10,000 is roughly the mortgage payment on a $2,000,000 mortgage. Buy a $1,000,000 place and cut your monthly housing nut in half! Use the rest to buy $4 toast! Fuck, buy $8 or $10 toast and you're STILL coming out ahead!

SECOND, that ad. Oh my God that ad. "With the hottest microclimate in San Francisco, Mission is caliente." Are you fucking kidding me. Are you intentionally making fun of the Mission's Latino heritage, or was that just a happy accident? For the love of God, fellow white people, do not call things "caliente." This is one step removed from putting on a giant sombrero and poncho and going to a Cinco de Mayo party.
