It's time to find an apartment. God forbid.

I think that the Evil Apartment Nazis® make it their lifelong goal to keep you from renting one of their flats. There's simply no other explanation for why it's so difficult to find an apartment.

Apartments can be divided into three categories:
1. Too expensive
2. Too scummy
3. Too far away

Here's where the strategy of the Evil Apartment Nazis® comes in. Should you actually find an apartment that is neither too expensive or too scummy, and if this apartment (perchance) has reached its Zen Location, an Evil Apartment Nazi® will teleport said apartment to the 14th dimension. Or, if that isn't an option, said Evil Apartment Nazi® will simply rent it out to someone far more diabolical than himself. The result is apartment buildings full of Evil Apartment Nazis® and Even More Evil Apartment Dwellers®.

With this in mind, I've come to this conclusion: We're doomed.

I'll let you know how the search goes, but don't get your hopes up.
