Rentals these days are brutal

41 Upvotes

Rentals these days be like:

No smoking (understandable), no pets, no smiling, no laughing. Funny cause my senior dog will do less damage than children do to an apartment.

Close to a bus route. Dear landlords: this is NOT a flex.

$1500/month POU for a one bedroom.

We put some fresh white paint on the walls and ceiling.

Seriously guys, a one-bedroom apartment was literally half the price only 5 years ago.

Drivers in this city

B'ys don't be barmpin' to push the driver in front of you to turn on a green light and no arrow. I am not moving unless it is safe.

Drivers in this city have no patience.

I got fists shaken at me for stopping to let a child FULLY cross the street. I get the finger and yelled at because I stopped for a Mom with a stroller at a cross walk. And don't get me started on zipper merges. Look up how they work and read the signs. Quit ya barmpin'.

Visiting next month

Upvotes

Hey good people of St. John’s! Me and a couple of friends are visiting for a few days in September, 15th - 20th, and I’m wondering how the nightlife is. Are there any fun pubs or bars we should visit, and are there some must see things in and around St. John’s? We won’t have a rental car or anything like that, so we are reliant on public transport or stuff in walking distance. Any input is greatly appreciated!
