dilema
It turned out that the landlord of the house (from hats chapter 1) is willing to drop the background check if I give him a bigger security deposite. I received this information yesterday, while I was busy filling up the application for the 2nd house (from hats (chapter 2)). This started a dilema in me (that is still unresolved): Which of the 2 places should I rent. Obviously I can't rent both and not because I don't want. I would if I had the money, but my financial situation isn't one that allows me such a laxury, and if it did I would be renting something totally different. Back to the dilema: On the one hand I have the house (from chapter 1). The good things about that house are: It has a very big fenced back yard. It has a garage (I know it's stupid, but I always dreamed of having a garage for a car). It has a gas stove (I know I don't cook much, but it's never too late to start and I do want to start). The bed things about that house are: The neighborhood is not as nice. It's further than work (not by a lot but commute will be a problem). The house is smaller.
The good things about the 2nd house are: It's in a very nice and well maintained neighborhood. The inside of the house is nicer. It's bigger. It's very close to work, It's better architected. The drawbacks of the 2nd house are: It doesn't have its own dirveway. It only has a small fenced patio. It has a dog size limit that I will pass, but the owner assured me they don't check the size of the dog.
The perfect thing would be if you took the back yard for the 1st house and put it instead of the patio of the of the 2nd house...
I know that the real question is where will my dog have a better life? It's not so easy to answer and here is why: The 1st house has a big yard where he can go about. But I think he will get bored by it eventually. Since the neighborhood isn't really nice I feel that I will limit my walks with him to the bare minimum. Since the house isn't near he will see me less and I won'y be able to take him for walks as much. The 2nd house is near and I will be able to get home in the middle of the day to take him out for a walk instead of only in the morning and evenings. The neighborhood is nicer which means longer walks.
I narrowed the question a little more during the writing of this post: How much will I take him out on either of the houses? I don't have an anwer to that. Time to go check....

I'm leaning towards House Number 2. Despite the drawbacks.
Neighborhood and commute are a very serious issue, espeically in the USA.
I also think it's fishy that he has suddenly waiverd the background check. Why the change of heart? perhaps b/c his home is a hard sell.
