Santa Cruz may be warmer than some places, but we obviously pay a premium for the mild life. According to an article in today's Santa Cruz Sentinel:
Bucking the national trend of dropping rental rates and higher vacancies, Santa Cruz County apartments were ranked as the second most expensive in the state.

The survey, released Wednesday by RealFacts, a rental industry research company based in Novato, claims that renters throughout the country should have an easier time finding rental housing and end up paying less than they might have a year ago. But, not necessarily in Santa Cruz, where occupancy rates in the larger properties have averaged 96.5 percent and rents have averaged $1,637.
This isn't news to Fosco. You can see a photo of Fosco's apartment complex at right. He lives on the second floor, so he has a skylight. (Fosco's landlord is Bosnian, which accounts for the homey "Welcome to Little Sarajevo" sign. He really tries to make the complex feel like a community!) Fosco is actually lucky to live in a complex this nice, for which he pays a substantial $1750 a month. That may seem like a lot of money for a such a rundown place, but you should see Fosco's pal KFR's apartment...

We just got the tent installed, so we're doing well. Before, it was just the field and the bikes.
And to think that you pay over $1000 a month for that place...
Is that corn?
