Animation: Curbed; Photos: Emily Gould In this series, Looking to Settle, Emily Gould will chronicle her search to find a two-bedroom apartment.
Keith: Was it the week Raising Raffi came out when we weren’t speaking to each other? Or the week of my book party, which gave everyone COVID, including us?Keith: You found an apartment at 474 Grand Avenue, among all the shitty apartments you were seeing, that you liked.
Keith: Well, as you know, I live in a constant state of regret. That is my primary mode of existence. I don’t regret marrying you and I don’t regret our children, but everything else I regret.
Keith: Our kids are still very loud and energetic and still want to build forts near the couch and jump on them, and I, meanwhile, still pretty frequently find that I have to yell at them, very loudly, in Russian, so for this reason, the No. 1 quality for me in an apartment is that it be soundproofed. I hated when we lived above Mr. A and I had to yell at Raffi all the time just for running around. I’ll admit that I’ve grown used to having a dishwasher.
This has proved to be easier said than done. You found a place that was basically an MVA, and I surprised myself by vetoing it on grounds of lack of room for a dresser and cost. I do think cost is a major factor. We’re not really husbanding resources and living to fight another day at $5,200 a month, especially when on top of that we need to rent storage at CubeSmart for our books.
