Once you get the Craig's search just right, you can also save searches as an RSS feed using the link at the bottom of the page. Drop it right into your RSS reader and you can read search results right in your RSS reader. I find this particularly good for breaking down a search by geographical ar

thank you both! I know the area enough to be able to do a quick compare and contrast between say Bonny Doon and Nob Hill and Berkeley, but the sort of thing I am looking for could *conceivably* turn up in any of them (tho I'd guess it's more unlikely in downtwn SF itself...) I will check, Mauree

It does have rentals, but I'm not sure it pulls Craigs data. Would definitely help you cross reference public transportation though... -Cameron On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 2:46 PM, Dana wrote: > hmm if so I missed it when I was playing with that last week. But thanks! I > take a look at that. That

hmm if so I missed it when I was playing with that last week. But thanks! I take a look at that. That would be cool, cause even if they often get the exact addresses wrong, it still would tell me what the neighborhood looks like... On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 12:13 PM, Cameron Childress wrote: > > By

I kinda know the neighborhoods a little. But again, location is not my primary criterion; I'm looking for someplace with parking that is not too expensive or too small and preferably is near public transportation. That's possible but kinda hard to find and if I have to say yeah and it should be in

By the way, you might want to use Google Maps for your Search. Choose "More > Real Estate" Looks like it includes rentals, and I'll bet it also pulls listings from Craigs already. -Cameron On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 2:05 PM, Dana wrote: > eyeroll. I wanted to look for a sublet somewhere in the ba

eyeroll. I wanted to look for a sublet somewhere in the bay area. It made me choose moutain view, santa cruz, oakland, etc. How the hell do I know? Location not an issue just now and especially not for a sublet. On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 12:01 PM, Cameron Childress wrote: > > Yeah, they are getting
