湾区流氓厨房用具

It’s a fact of Bay Area life that renters must contort and compromise in ways residents of other cities would balk at. Buildings are old, electrical outlets are scarce, and vacancy rates are low. The average rent of a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco is a whopping $3,629 a month. For that amount of money, is it too much to ask that my kitchen layout be less scrambled than the eggs I’m making for breakfast?

我 T的湾区的生活,租房者必须扭曲和妥协的方式在其他城市的居民将不惜事实。 建筑物陈旧,电源插座稀缺,空置率低。 旧金山一居室公寓的平均租金为每月3,629美元 。 这么多钱,要求我的厨房布局比我早餐做的鸡蛋要少打扰吗?

I like my kitchen appliances the way I like my children — in a predictable location. Alas, that’s a hard feature to come by in a rental here. I’ve scoured the current rental listings to hunt down the most egregious examples of misplaced domestic machines. Here’s a roundup of the most errant, wayward, unruly, out-of-pocket, and otherwise disorderly kitchen appliances of the Bay Area.

危险召唤 (Hazard calling)

I don’t care what anyone says about brooms or ironing boards. These tall, thin doors are private entrances for Slenderman. (As if we don’t have enough to worry about.) At least this Millbrae landlord has the good sense to set up a tripwire.

我不在乎别人怎么说扫帚或熨板。 这些高而薄的门是Slenderman的私人入口。 (仿佛我们没有足够的后顾之忧。)至少,这位米尔布雷(Millbrae)房东有很好的意识来设置绊网。

微小的窗户挡 (Tiny window blocker)

A small kitchen without anyplace else to put the refrigerator than in front of the window, blocking half of it.

I’m not a feng shui expert, but I’m not ruling out this North Beach fridge’s position as the source of every disastrous event of 2020.

“Hey, could you grab me a beer from the fridge? You need to go completely through the kitchen and past the water heater. It’s right next to the Slenderman door. You can’t miss it.”

“嘿,你能从冰箱里拿我一杯啤酒吗? 您需要完全穿过厨房并经过热水器。 就在Slenderman门旁边。 你不能错过它。”

“Oh, Fridge, this is kinda awkward. My mom said I could only invite one appliance to my Rockridge kitchen sleepover, and I chose the stove.”

“哦,冰箱,这有点尴尬。 我妈妈说我只能在Rockridge厨房过夜时邀请一种电器,然后我选择了炉子。”

那是做到这一点的一种方法 (That’s one way to do it)

码头令人困惑的情况 (A perplexing situation in the Marina)

A fridge blocking off most of the view of a kitchen. The stove’s plugged into a wall outlet about two feet away from it.
Craigslist Craigslist

Apparently this is the best picture of this Marina kitchen, because it’s the only one posted in the listing. The position of that power cord tells me all I need to know.

显然,这是该Marina厨房的最佳图片,因为它是清单中唯一张贴的一个。 电源线的位置告诉我所有我需要知道的信息。

A tiny kitchen in the background, with the fridge in the foreground more or less in the hallway.
