Moving from San Francisco: Searching for Furnished, Month-to-Month House in Silicon Valley during COVID-19 Pandemic

As I navigate the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, I'm reflecting on the importance of community, resilience, and finding creative solutions to life's unexpected twists - including my own search for a new home in Silicon Valley during these uncertain times.

1. Speaker is surprised by the warm weather in San Francisco.
2. They were supposed to extend their lease to travel during summer, but friends staying in the apartment also decided not to come due to social distancing measures.
3. The speaker and their family have decided to find a new place to live.
4. They are looking for a furnished house with a backyard, close to nature, and preferably with a month-to-month lease.
5. Found a dream house in Los Altos Hills for $7,000 a month, but the application was declined.
6. Needed to offer $400 more than the asking price and create a deck about themselves, which they did not do.
7. COVID-19 curve is flattening in the Bay Area with less people being diagnosed and hospitalized each day.
8. Breathing machines and hospital beds are available, and some non-essential businesses are reopening.
9. The speaker had stocked up on water and toilet paper before the virus outbreak due to an article about a possible earthquake in San Francisco.
10. Toilet paper is still hard to find in local stores.
11. Uncertainty regarding transmission of the virus through surfaces, such as toilet paper packaging.
12. Still need to be cautious when going out and follow safety measures like wearing masks and gloves.
13. Hopeful that the flattening curve will give medical systems more time to prepare for potential future waves.
14. Taiwan is almost back to normal, with people returning to work and restaurants reopening.
15. Comparisons between different countries' handling of the pandemic and their strategies for safety measures.
16. Russia implementing QR codes to restrict movement and allow only specific individuals outside.
17. San Francisco residents displaying teddy bears in windows as a sign of support or for children's entertainment during walks.
18. Difficulty with social distancing in apartment buildings, where some people refuse to take turns on elevators.
19. The speaker's camera guy found a potential house option in Topanga near LA, which is furnished and has a pool.
20. Plan is to move out of the current apartment within 13 days and explore living in both Silicon Valley and LA for two or three months before returning to Russia.
21. Grateful for the quality ingredients from local restaurants during quarantine.
22. Appreciation for the views from the current apartment and anticipation for new experiences in a different place.
23. Encouragement to stay tuned for future videos from a new location.
24. Excitement and readiness for new opportunities, while still missing the current living situation.
