| April 25, 2001 | Dog's Life in Pre-Crash San Francisco |
|
When I moved to San Francisco way back 4 or 5 months ago (i.e. pre-major economy crash) -- no apartments WITHOUT concrete floors would even consider accepting our two tiny dogs, even with a $5000 security deposit. Some landlords even wanted a non-refundable pet rent of a few hundred bucks per month... Others suggested I kill one of the dogs (the comment was tongue in cheek, but still -- it wasn't making me feel very good as I desperately combed Craigslist and Rent Tech looking for pet friendly apartments). Here is an actual email exchange I had on Craigslist back in November 2000: From: Jess Barron To: Bill Newcomb Subject: Your SOMA live/work loft Hi Bill, I'm interested in taking a look at your live/work loft that is posted on Craigslist for $2500. (The posting said you would consider pets.) I have two tiny dogs. They are both 3-years-old and come with great references. Let me know if the unit will allow my dogs and also if you are showing it this Saturday. Thanks! --Jess From: Bill Newcomb To: Jess Barron Subject: RE: Your SOMA live/work loft Hi Jess, Unfortunately, the building only allows 1 pet per unit... So you're gonna have to kill one of your little tiny doggies ;-) Sorry, Bill Labels: dog, sanfrancisco, sf posted by Jess Barron @ 11:20 AM
