Plus, there are all the benefits of renting an apartment:

* If your neighbor decides to throw a party at 2:00 a.m. on a Wednesday, you're automatically invited!

* Getting to meet all your neighbor's pets on the 4'x6' area of lawn designated for walking them!

* No need to worry about interior decorating; your favorite wall color is always white! (And your favorite exterior color is that weird greenish-beige!)

* No need to worry about that hobby that takes up too much space: you don't even need to consider it!

* If you're really lucky, the excitement of drug busts and gunfire in the parking lot. Your own action-adventure show!

An apartment doesn't have to be a terrible apartment.

But a non-terrible apartment can become a terrible apartment in a surprisingly short time. And by god I hated moving every year or two.
