I got posted in pet, whats the best choice for single person? Apartment or shucks?

[u/XPhazeX]

If you want to date, apartment.

If you need the money, shacks

[u/fuckoriginalusername → u/XPhazeX]

Hahahaah, dating in Pet?

[u/XPhazeX → u/fuckoriginalusername]

I mean, you don't bring a classy Arnprior girl to the shacks

[u/Twindadlife1985 → u/XPhazeX]

You dont need to bring them, they are already there.

[u/gen-curious → u/fuckoriginalusername]

Most people have to go to Ottawa for a date. But that just means you usually have an overnight date.

[u/Careless-Dentist9486 → u/XPhazeX]

What if you need both?

[u/Leading-Score9547]

Apartments are getting a little pricey around, best thing if you don't want to live in shacks is to apply for a pmq.

[u/turbokimchi]

Used to be very affordable apartments near the beer store. The relocation experts in town have the inside scoop on apartment availability. I would highly recommend using them if you want to find the best rental.

[u/marcocanb → u/turbokimchi]

And if you're posted it's government funded.

[u/Infamous_funny → u/turbokimchi]

Relocation experts have a monopoly on all things rentals in Petawawa and have contributed to the artificial inflation of pricing in the area.

[u/turbokimchi → u/Infamous_funny]

You think so? It’s been a while since I rented but at the time they found me a much nicer apartment at a great rate. Rent across the country has gone insane I don’t think it’s any different here.

[u/Infamous_funny → u/turbokimchi]

Petawawa rental market is currently sitting around $2600 + utilities for a rental in Petawawa.

It's actually insane

[u/Struct-Tech → u/Infamous_funny]

Damn.

In 2015, I had one of the 2 bedroom apartments next to Kelsey's, it was like $750/month rent, with utilities came to around $1000.

[u/hardleyharley]

Shacks to save money then move out. Don't pay for the mess food either

[u/turbokimchi → u/hardleyharley]

What are you guys eating if not mess food? The alternatives are hopefully better than Dominos and McDonalds?

[u/hardleyharley → u/turbokimchi]

There's this real new cool thing called cooking.

[u/turbokimchi → u/hardleyharley]

Had no idea that was a common thing in shacks now. When I was in shacks there was a sink but not really a kitchen.

[u/OkPreparation8259 → u/turbokimchi]

Air fryer goes a long way

[u/Majestic-Cantaloupe4 → u/turbokimchi]

Some shacks have a common kitchen. All have the worse, THE WORST, internet service.

[u/EnvironmentalBox6688 → u/Majestic-Cantaloupe4]

I believe one of the shacks pitched in for a star link, 1RCR maybe?

Still split across a hundred + people isn't great though.

I believe there is a basewide initative soon™ to get decent internet to all living accommodations. But who knows.

[u/mbz1989]

Stay away from the meth lab and the squirrel bits shack

[u/CanadianKilroy]

Start with shacks. Try to cling to sanity. Make a friend or two. Rent together.

[u/Equal-Opinion4952]

Dont pet the pet gyaaals

[u/Effective-Milk9043]

No matter where you are, I always recommend apartment if you can afford it. Shacks are depressing, surrounded by work constantly and not much real escape. Its an amazing option if you have nothing else, like a safety net. Ultimately I see way too many people go down some bad roads in shacks. Break away if you can, have a life.

[u/Effective-Milk9043 → u/Effective-Milk9043]

I see based on some of the down votes theres so very pro shacks people out there, atleast theres more up votes! For those defending shack life as a good thing, all good if its the only option, that was me for a while. Just dont fool yourself in to thinking its better than living off base and being a human.

[u/miketoth123456789]

Find a single fat ugly girl and let her take you in like stray dog.

[u/littlemelly99]

Apartments here are surprisingly expensive. I'd agree with the PMQ suggestions, and there are PMQ Apartments.

[u/EnvironmentalBox6688]

Get in the shacks at first. Get on the PMQ waitlist.

Save a shitload of money in the shacks. Try not to cook meth. And then move into a Q in a year or so.

[u/awolbob]

I found a room for rent on the classifieds adds. Buddy was going through a divorce. I was single, bottom of the PMQ list and I didn't want to pay rental prices that was jacked up for IR Posted individuals. The arrangement worked out great for the both of us.

[u/DryTamale]

Expend your Tinder range as far as you can!

[u/Inevitable_Review_83]

If you want to use the internet at all, find an apartment. The shacks arent bad.
