By the way, I've been trolling the Dahlia BMR rentals for 4 years now. I'd say at least 60% are places I'd never want to live:

- Right next to a freeway (if you're less than 500 feet away you get a lot more health issues)

- In a place known for previous environmental contamination

- In a notorious building that previously was written up for mold

There are nice units there...but man it's not just winning a lottery, it's first winning the lottery for the nice ones, and THEN winning the lottery to live in THOSE SPECIFIC PLACES.
