Valerie Sobel-Twain's experience finding her home in San Francisco highlights the challenges of apartment hunting in the pre-internet era. In 1994, after returning home following her father's death, she discovered a rent-controlled apartment that cost just $1,250 a month. Her past connections with future roommates solidified her decision to move in. Over three decades, she formed deep ties to the house, going through life changes including two marriages and raising a child, ultimately becoming permanently secured to her home through the lease arranged by her landlord.
"In 1994, I was back in the Bay Area after college, searching for a place to call home after my father's death."
"I found a rent-controlled three-bedroom apartment in Noe Valley, which turned out to be a life-changing decision, leading to 30 years of memories."
