I am looking for a roommate starting ASAP;
I like the place a lot & don't want to have to leave.

Rent is $300 & utilities (electricity, basic phone service, gas heat).
Average utilities are $36/person in a non-heating month,
anywhere between $36 & $86/person in a heat-use month.

The apt is the large & sunny top floor of a triple-decker
with eat-in kitchen, hardwood floors, porches,
storage niche in basement, coin-op washer & dryer,
shared driveway parking & no-permit-required on-street parking.

The apt is located in Somerville 1 mile due east of Davis Square,
about 1 mile due north of the Cambridge line.  This is the part
of Somerville near Medford, complete with trees.

There are rapid bus lines to Davis, Lechmere & Sullivan Squares,
& weekday service to MIT.

Apt has large livingroom, diningroom, food pantry, central hallway with
coat closet & 2 standard size (10 x 13 ft) bedrooms with large closets.

I have 1 cat & would accept roommate with compatible animal
(or even without!)
I'm a woman, my cat was male, call me for any more info.

Comment: it is hard to read lower case writing with sentence
fragments and poor punctuation.

   the story:
   had a verbal agreement from the owner to sell for a mutually 
   agreed upon price, but he disagreed w/ a few of the clauses.  

I do not know how binding a verbal agreement is with respect
to the sale of property.  For a rental agreement, it is
probably more important.  In general, unless it is in
writing, it is hard to uphold in court.


   was waiting for him to fax the signed offer w/ clauses edited to
   his taste.  the next thing we knew, was that some other offer
   had been accepted.  (we never even given the chance for
   rebuttal).  

   had a friend call the realty company and they said
   that it was still forsale (not offer-pending).

The seller may not have notified the real estate company for
a number of reasons.  If he or she is sinister and evil,
perhaps it was to avoid paying commission.  Perhaps the
seller hadn't been able to contact the real estate company
for some other reason.  Perhaps the other sale was accepted
pending agreement on some clauses, but they buyers had given
the seller a check.  There are many more possibilities.


   what to do?

Find out the facts.  You haven't even mentioned how the
seller would know your sexual orientation and how he or she
found out between the verbal agreement and the negotiation
on clauses.


   our realtor (not w/ the above company) said that legal
   action may be taken along the lines of discrimination.  
   certainly the listing realtor
   may get reprimanded for unethical behaviour.

You haven't given enough evidence to support this.


   1.  is it worth the legal battle?
   2.  as far as i know, there are no laws to protect us in MA wrt
	   fair housing.

Massachusetts (and a number of cities including Boston and
Cambridge) have strong laws protecting citizens from
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (I assume
this is what you mean by "us").

The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination is the
state organization prosecutes such cases.  They are listed
in the phone book in Boston (I don't have a phone book
sitting at my desk) or through information.  They also have
an office in Springfield (and perhaps another in Worcester).


   meanwhile:

   we continue to look, but have had to move farther out
   from most desirable area.

Good luck.

The _owner_ probably has the option of selling to whomever he pleases.
The _broker_ has to abide by Massachusetts, federal, and local
anti-discrimination statutes.

Contact the MCAD (617-727-3990) and ask about your rights in a case
like yours.  If you don't get anywhere, write to the Mike Duffy, the
commissioner of MCAD, who is openly gay.

Local gay rights groups _may_ help, but I don't know of any which have
the specific goal of pro-bono civil rights advocacy (past referrals I've
made of people to groups like Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders have
generally met with disappointment).  Some communities have a fair-housing
or human rights commission which offers free assistance.  Last week's
issue of _Bay Windows_ contains a community guide listing the phone
numbers of a couple hundred gay organizations:  check there, and call
the gay/lesbian help line (617-267-9001).

In real transactions anything not in writing is just about meaningless.

What were the "few clauses" and did the other offer come in
with a higher price and less "clauses"?

Are you interested in Cambridge? I've got a very centrally located

I went to BU as an undergrad and am currently a part-time grad at NU
(but not in CS).

I consider BU and NU to both be "tier 2" schools (with "tier 1"
schools being Mit, CMU, etc., and "tier 3" being your no-name or 
community college schools).  The difference between MIT and BU or NU
(in resume value) is huge; the difference between BU and NU is probably 
not worth too much concern.

In the New England area, BU and NU are probably about the same on a
resume.  Outside, BU may edge NU a bit in name recognition.  Your best
bet is to get yourself a high GPA that can be mentioned either in the
resume or a cover letter.

I would've expected Hung Photo to be in the Combat Zone, near Chinatown ;-)

Getting slightly serious, Hunt Drug runs an annual photography show at
South Boston's World Trade Center, and if last year's show was any
indication, I would expect that their store is the biggest and lowest-
priced photo shop in the area.  (Looks to me like pharmaceuticals must

My contact lens source, Cambridge Eye Doctors, has a policy in 
which they require patients to be checked each time they pick
up their disposable lenses. They charge $15 for this check up,
which is *not* a complete eye exam, just what they call a
"progress" exam. They told me that this exam is required; that
I must have it to buy my lenses. I have the option of taking their
Vision Care program, which covers the cost of the "progress" exams

Am I being ripped off? Does anyone else find that their eye MDs or
contact suppliers require them to have eye exams in addition to their
regular annual exam? 

Any suggestions as to where else I can go in the T-able Boston area
for contacts? Thanks.
