^ Great deal there. Renting here, too. Don't want to have the responsibility of a mortgage.
Damn some of you are paying 1/3 for your mortage what I pay for my 1 bedroom apartment in a middling neighborhood -- and I negociated my apartment down significantly.
One more reason to get the fuck out of LA ASAP.

None of the above. I live in a co-op. Own the house outright, but have a monthly "operating fee", sort of like a condo fee.
I rent a flat from my parents.
I pay a mortgage to the nice friendly bank.
I rent at the moment.
^So I can have a yard and a little peace and quiet. I'm not the big city type.
Other than for work, a doctor's visit, airport, or to visit friends that live within the city limits, I haven't gone into the city in the year and a half I've lived here.
2 qualifications to that though:
1. I grew up in the northeast, so I've seen the major attractions there over the years.
2. Wife works in the city and wants no part of it on the weekend.

I rent.
I pay a mortgage to the nice friendly bank by writing a check from the used to be nice, but isn't anymore bank. I'm getting ready to move my operating accounts to the nice friendly bank.
I've got a condo that I bought, so I've got a lovely mortgage payment to make every month. Wish I could afford a single-family home, or even a townhouse, but it won't happen with one income. I don't like the idea of renting if you don't have to... at least when you buy property you build equity.
I had a feeling you'd say something like that. So much for the built-in playmates for my "kids".
Own/pay a mortgage on a townhouse, which is annoying, because pretty much everyone thinks we must be renting it (even after I explain that we own it). But it's a townhouse which doesn't share a wall with any other homes, so it's mostly like a regular house, but it's called a townhouse because of the kind of cul de sac it's in.

I make exceptions for play dates with Labradors. Notice I said visits to friends in the city were ok!
