- untog 12y agoIf you're in SF and the person says they are a techie, they can pay rent. You don't need to go into boastful details about it. (in any case, you should really be signing a sublease agreement)

But then again, as long as your roommate has paid his rent in advance, one of the nicest times of the year in San Francisco is when all the burners are out of town. http://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/08/i-wish-you-could-stay-on-the-playa-forever-too/ http://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/08/i-wish-you-could-stay-on-the...
