If you can't afford rentals, your rights are not being impinged on. 

Buy a 27 inch oven and put a 30 inch cooktop on top, the problem with this is I think it may impinge on adjacent draw space and you have to replace the countertop. 

For example burien passed an inspection program (annoying to those of us who give a dang, but manageable and doesn't impinge on tenant screening, setting rents, etc) and they have some rules around move-in fees and relocation,  but they haven't passed any rules blocking out important screening criteria or preventing you from controlling who moves into your property)   In total scale of additional rules at the municipal level Tacoma has the most after Seattle,  but their leadership and rules are still sufficiently more balanced that its an area worth looking at  (if there are still any good deals to be had) There is activity by tenant advocates on the statewide scale to enact some of the same sorts of rules seattle has (just cause, restricted screening criteria, severe limits on ability to evict, collect up front fees, and control occupancy),  and what is probably going to become an annual attempt to enact statewide rent control until it happens. 

People in a dreamlike state don't allow reality to impinge on that?

Local ordinance might make rules about facility condition or administrative requirements, but local ordinance wouldn't be able to impinge on that 20-week period because it is allowed/protected by state law.So Prop 21 would allow/protect a rent increase of up to 15% at vacancy in addition to whatever vacancy control ordinances are put into place by cities and counties.

@Chis AnenWe don't do a lot of this because most of our offers are cash, as is - so there's not a lot of other levers.That said, if you're asking for contingencies, you can do things like:offer A is with seller providing no remediation of tree impinging on propertyoffer B is with seller providing remediation of tree impinging on propertyThe thing I'd advice (we have more experience on the seller side of a transaction when things were asked for) is that if you do ask a seller to re-mediate something be very specific on what your expectations for quality are.

Yes, you can provide some discounts be sure not to impinge on any protected classes2.

If this is anything NEAR bodybuilding I will be just fine (minus the dieting, 2-a-days, little sleep for 13 weeks).Sacrifice has never really been an issue for me, because most people know my seriousness and goals and are aware I will move on if they impinge on that.$20k a year?

., though (lifestyle impingements).And I do realize this is mentally and financially hard on so many--hang in there--and ride the waves as they come in, and do the best you can (that's all anyone can do).And riding this thing out in beautiful Oceanside is a lot better than riding it out Wuhan China where they are welding people into their homes (the glass is either half-full or half-empty).Good Luck!

It doesn't impinge on my freedoms, or my powers, or the enjoyment of living here one bit.
