Just under two large for 700 ft^2 in downtown Chicago.

And yeah, the sunlight thing. I didn't think it would affect me quite so much until I moved up here.

Probably same price for twice the square footage just outside of Boston. The sunlight thing is no joke. If you do move up there, get some full spectrum lights and sit in front of them.

Double down and move to Australia. At least then if things get worse you just have to walk outside to end everything!

Although the jump from the -"whatever-the-gently caress-that's-too-cold" in Seattle to the +40c would probably kill you. Theres still big money to be had in the oil and mining games for mechanics too, mates dad is a mechanic/fabricator, works for Santos out of Moomba (Bum gently caress nowhere in South Australia but at least unlike alaska the sun shines there!) doing 2 on 2 off FIFO and makes about $130K a year doing so.

I actually made the same hours today as my old shop with about a quarter of the rush and zero chaos and the shop is actually clean. Its definitely a much, much slower shop but considering I was already repeatedly hitting my 30 hour guarantee I'll gladly take the breather.

Oh, also its funny watching all the hookers walking by. No, seriously.

If you actually want a change of scenery/to never see an intact floorboard more than 15 years old again I can probably give you a spot to stay for a while in a couple months. I'd offer sooner but the house is NOT really livable at the moment.

$9 to fill up from a little over a half tank, two hours ago.

Admittedly, I get 5c/gal off because I have a Walmart store credit card. And the store that I fill up at finally brought back their Walmart.com self-service kiosk, so I can just walk in and feed it money to pay the credit card bill (and it's instantly available on the card).
