Where shall I stay in September?
No bounty left

I'm moving out of my current place in the castro at the end of this month, traveling for a while, and then want to be in a new place in September.

Some details about me that you can send people. Generally looking for somewhere around alamo square / lower haight

This is my first bountied question idk the best way to divide rewards, but generally I aim to reward people who give me leads or advice that is more helpful that what I would've accomplished by myself otherwise.

Aug 31 update: I did kinda find a place at a group house in the mission before I went on vacation, but it wasn't for certain, and now I've learned that the earliest I could move in is Sept 15. Currently crashing with friends. So I'm going to keep this open.

Update: I ended up finding a place mid-september because Anton randomly asked me after some manifold event. Other people who tried to help me mostly did not succeed.

I helped her find a room before the end of Sept.

Have you thought about trying short term furnished rentals (off Craigslist, Facebook, FurnishedFinders, etc if you want to avoid the 17% fee to AirBnB) and trying out different locations in a low risk fashion?

I'm currently on location 1 - we've spent a month and a half here so far and will be moving out in 1 more month. It's been super useful for figuring out if we like the area we're in.

May I suggest living in a suburb? If the mainstream media is to be believed, San Francisco has been rapidly deteriorating, much more so compared to other big cities, so it might not be a good idea to stay there all the time. Plus, suburbs are nice, and often much less hectic than city centers. (I live in a suburb of Boston and like it that way!) Furthermore, the Bay Area has the BART, so commuting shouldn't be too much of an issue even if you don't have a car or bike or whatever.

is this “starting in september” or “for september”? like would you want to stay in this spot for a while, or just for september?

I believe Fiona is looking for housemates! Not quite Lower Haight but it's in the orbit of that; will intro you two
