Hey, I’m a 39 y/o cis gay man facing some slightly unstable housing looking for somewhere to land. Currently crashing somewhere with not a lot of space. Ideally I'd like to pay up to $600. I might be able to pay a bit more for the right situation, but I don't want to stretch myself too thin. Due to some disabilities, on a bit of a limited fixed budget, but it's consistent and reliable. I also supplement that with gig work (typically rideshare but branching out to pet-sitting). Also, I have a cat, she’s a bit older but still active, chill and sweet, no real behavioral issues. She’s lived with plenty of other cats before, so I'm totally ok with living with other cats.
Despite my disabilities and some limited mobility, I'm generally able to uphold my end of being a responsible roommate/tenant and am able to get along peacefully with other people I live with. I’m on public housing waitlists but that could take a long time, but for now, I’d like to either find something temporary, a cheap sublet or someone with a spare room they’d like some financial help with. I'm also open to something more long-term that's comfortable and cheap enough that I feel like I can manage it for awhile. Sooner is definitely better. I would also be interested in finding a space with likeminded people who are looking to find a place.
Preferences for location is within the city so that I'm close to necessary support networks, near decent public transportation in case my car ever has issues, and not overly hilly. I especially would prefer something that doesn't require a lot of stairs to get in and out of, as that has been a pain point in my current/previous housing, but I know I can't afford to be too picky.
I’m a relatively quiet, mostly easy going aging nerdy hipster weirdo who tends to keep to himself at home but can be social, usually have headphones on, and try my best to always respect everyone around me and pull my weight around the house with chores and the like. Sex positive. Try to be open, inclusively minded, and empathetic. No major preferences for people to live with so long as they're generally the same way.
Used to go out to shows a lot and stay out all night at raves, but those days are mostly behind me. My interests these days tends to be more lowkey stuff like hanging with people, watching movies and TV (film school dropout!), listening to podcasts, board games (I like to play a social deduction game online sometimes), reading, drinking coffee, etc. Not looking for a total party house, but don't mind a chill social space where people have friends over or whatever, especially if I've got my own private space to be reclusive in if need be. Down to be friendly as roommates, or just kind of separate entities looking to respectfully share a space and responsibilities, whatever the vibe ends up being.
Any leads would be helpful. Very much open to looking at places, meeting people to see if we get along, or answering any questions. Thanks!
