    Looks like Reservoir is affordable, easy to get to Brunswick and Coburg and to work.

    Will go have a look the next couple of days at a few places. Really wanted Brunswick but if I don’t get a pay rise that ain’t happening.

    I think the work stuff is affecting me. I feel really down and out but no real reason. I guess this is what toxic workplaces do.

    Edit:

      Rezza’s just up the road from Thornbury/Northcote, with all the open mic venues and music. It’s a lot nicer than it used to be. May I recommend the butcher on the main drag? Has lovely grass fed beef, properly aged. Some good op shops too - the St Georges Anglican Church one is a hidden gem. Small but very choice stock. I did look into houses in Rezza when I moved out of EBrunswick. The lake side is lovely.

      Beware of Fawkner & Dallas. They look close but the agents are likely putting lipstick on the pig’s butt hole.

          The place I looked at there is the one that smelt of misery and had a garage dweller. How representative is this? 🤷🏻‍♀️

            it’s in the middle of nowhere, has many factories, a large cemetery and lots of run down housing. Doesn’t seem like a community.

              Unfortunately if i want to live in a house and not an apartment, that far from the city is what I can afford whilst saving my deposit.

              I can’t justify paying more than 2500 pcm for rent.

              Yeah. I didn’t mind the test train run, and can put up with much nearby industrial, but looking around the adjacent few blocks, you would be on your own Re fruit trees & borrowing ladders
