Apartment Hunting

When one is of limited financial means, apartment hunting can begin to seem a hopeless task. This is increased ten-fold if you're looking for a temporary sublet, and ten-fold again if it's in New York City. Three weeks I've scoured Craigslist, with nothing to show for it. There are a couple areas that seem to have reasonable rents and a fair number of vacancies, though it's beginning to seem as though I may never live in a neighborhood that lacks a lingering association with race riots.
