After posting my ad to all electronic forums I initially had in mind, I have gotten exactly one response-as-intended, from a complete stranger. This is filtering out the spam to post my ads on other sites, the friendly offers from people to propagate my ad to other mailing lists, and, worryingly, invitations to abandon my search and move in with other people in the area who have been looking for roommates for months. I wonder if I should start to be concerned. It hasn't been a week since I started looking, but I guess I was expecting more response sooner than this. Hrmpfh.

I have learned that the vacancy rate in the area has octupled over the last couple of years... which is to say, it's about eight percent now. Mumble. Well, we'll see.
