Rewriting Craigslist Titles for Accuracy
My lease is up at the end of the month, and a month ago I had shopped around a little bit for other rental properties in my neighborhood. I mostly like my little duplex, but I thought it was worth looking for a whole house to rent (versus a duplex), with private laundry facilities and my own backyard. I combed through Craigslist, and drove around looking at several places.
I printed off the Craigslist pages for each property, and took them around on my little clipboard and took notes as I investigated each place. For each place, the seller has to come up with a catchy title (noted in bold below)...and next to each catchy title I noted my own, more accurate title for the property (noted in red below):
And obviously I'll need to change the headline of this page to say "Kotara Industries, the Helsinki Branch," and to find some sort of snow-based template.

- 3br Quaint River Rock Craftsman in Old Ballard - Cutesy Cottage!
- 2br with View and Beach Access - Shitty Beach Bungalow with No Privacy!
- 2br Ballard House - Possible Meth Lab?
- 2br HUGE Apartment in Duplex - the PERFECT APARTMENT! - Not Actually Perfect!
