Have any of you guys been in one of those "luxury apartments" I keep seeing advertised? Are they actually good or are they just the same quality apartments you find elsewhere with some special branding? Do you think it's worth living in one?

How to build a pallet garden.
The apartment complex I live in was going to let me make one of these. They are space efficient as fuck, and can hold a surprisingly large amount of plants. OC pics as season picks up.
Pallet gardens are excellent alternatives to large gardens for growing smaller sized vegetables, herbs and ornamental flowers. Garden blogs and garden websites are noting pallet gardens as an up-and-coming trend. We decided to build a
pallet garden and found that a few modifications to the original designs really make this garden suitable to plant production. Schools with limited budgets and space can benefit from growing pallet gardens. Lumber costs can be expensive to
build raised beds, and many schools simply do not have the space to plant raised beds let alone traditional gardens. Below are the LSU AgCenter directions and pictures to construct and plant a pallet garden.
Materials Needed
'''1 pallet, a staple gun and staples, landscape fabric, soil and
seedlings.'''
Step 1. Find a pallet. Don’t spend money on a new one; visit a
local dumpster or speak with a grocery store manager. Pallets
can often be found behind large stores, but first ask a manger
as sometimes the delivery trucks recycle pallets saving stores
money.
Step 2. If any of the pallet boards are loose, nail them securely. If old nails are sticking out remove them. We don’t want students tearing their clothes or worse injuring themselves on old nails.
Step 3. If the boards are really rough lightly sand to prevent splinters.
Step 4. Determine which side you want to be the front, then
flip over. Starting on one side of the pallet, staple the landscape fabric (double layered) to the sides of the pallet, working from one side across the back and onto the other side. You may also want to start stapling at the top of the pallet pulling the fabric taut as you move across and down. Make sure the bottom of the pallet is also covered by a double layer of landscape fabric.
Step 5. Lay the pallet again on the ground front side up.
Step 6. Fill the pallet with soil. Occasionally tip the pallet to a
45 degree angle and shake soil to the bottom. Be careful not
to let too much fall from the front slots.
Step 7. Place plants in all slots between wood, placing the plants tightly together.
Step 8. Fill the remaining empty spaces with soil.
Step 9. Place something ( we’ve used a low bench) like bricks or concrete pavers under the top potion of the pallet garden. Staple a single layer of landscape fabric to the top of the pallet. Cut small holes in the top to plant seedlings that will grow vertically in the pallet. Stapling landscape fabric to the top side of the pallet at this stage allows you to fill the pallet completely with soil, keep the soil from falling out of the pallet each time you water, and prevents weeds from growing around the plants in the top section of the pallet garden. Leave pallet in this position for approximately 2-3 weeks.
Step 10. Carefully and slowly water the pallet. If you water too quickly, the soil will rush out of the top of the pallet.

Not sure if this qualifies for this board, but I lived in a trailer park for a while, which is sort of like being in an apartment complex.
Pros: Dirt cheap, and my park happened to be in a very pretty area
Cons: Usually a long ass distance from town
Overall I recommend it to someone looking for a cheap solution to renting.

Downside is that it came with some furniture I don't wanna use, like a shitty CRT TV and the landlord doesn't want to take it. I think I'll wrap it in some plastic and put it outside on the (semi-enclosed) deck. My only concern is that she'll blow a fuse over it.
Speaking of blown fuses, only two out of six electrical sockets in the living room work. Whoops. I have a feeling landlady won't like coughing up cash to deal with that. I'm a bit reluctant to spoil relations this early on, especially as we already had a bicker about fixed-term vs periodical. (I wanted fixed.)
Any comments, /rent/?
Living on one's lonesome
Just left my current place to move to a studio all on my own.

What do you think makes a good roommate? I'm moving into an apartment with a friend soon and I don't want to become one of those assholish roommates I hear about a lot.

I'm hesitant to express my tastes, because I'm a weeb at heart (or at least, was) and have enough social awareness to realise that a poster of a magical girl probably isn't the best thing for a grown man to have. Aside from weebyness, I don't really have any strong interests.
I could put some photos on the wall, I suppose. My father's a photographer, so that could be nice. Actually, yeah, that's a good idea. I'll grab some of those easily removed, non-damaging hooks and stick up a shitton of his framed photos. That should give at least some feeling of life to the place.
Cultivating a sense of homeliness
How do you make your place feel more home-y, /rent/? I've just moved in and a friend told me that it felt lonely, dead and miserable, like a hotel.I'm hesitant to express my tastes, because I'm a weeb at heart (or at least, was) and have enough social awareness to realise that a poster of a magical girl probably isn't the best thing for a grown man to have.
