I'm Choosing to Be Homeless in LA
"It is the privilege of the Gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little." - Diogenes Today is December 30th, 2019. About a month ago, my landlord sent me an email that the rent for my room in his Brentwood townhouse would be going up. Presently, I pay $1100 (after a $50 discount for promised amenities which broke and were never replaced). On January 1st, he wrote in a revised lease, those amenities would no longer be included, and therefore my discount would be going away. Also, on February 1st, the rent would be going up to $1350.
