Need to fly from ORD to SFO for apartment viewing this weekend. Friends and family advising against it. Looking for suggestions on how to get someone local from SF to do it for me over video call.

Ask a friend that lives in the area if they can volunteer. If not, you will have to either postpone or get an apartment without viewing. Also, you can ask the apartment manager to show it to you on video. It’s in their interest to get a new tenant and embrace new ways of working.

Have you thought about not moving from somewhere decent like Chicago to a sh1thole like SFO?

Also, you haven’t even been to sf if you think it’s just homeless people. Next time you visit our city, get out of SOMA/tenderloin and check out the other neighborhoods

You can ask the property management to give you a video tour. When I moved to the Bay Area from the east coast, I did the same and did not face any issues! It was just so convenient instead of having to take a flight here

I heard some listings are being pulled as owners don’t want a different people coming through their properties, so might want to confirm they are still showing. If the are, do you have any D SF colleagues you can reach out to?

Done.

Do you have a trusted friend or colleague, or real estate broker?

None unfortunately in that area. I’m based out of Chicago. :(

I live in SF - don’t understand the issue

Planes are safe their air is well ventilated but if you have a preexisting then don’t risk it

Don’t see the issue. Maybe fly to somewhere reasonably close and drive in?

As a friend I’m not sure I’d volunteer. Task rabbit would probably sue if they got the virus

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
