Moving, moving, moving!

So, I'm looking to move within San Francisco on August 1st. Me and my beloved housemate of four years are parting ways because I'm adopting a cat and looking for a room with a little more space than what I currently have. After a fairly abysmal hunt for affordable studios that aren't Hobbit Holes, I've decided to look at room shares. (If, by the grace of God, you know of some Magic Crazy Awesome Rent Control Studio Deal, hit me up, please). More about me: I'm a queer femme writer, activist, and cultural worker (most of my artistic and activist work is about queer, trans, and sex worker communities). I'll be starting the MFA in Fiction program at SF State in the fall. I'm a San Francisco native (I grew up in the Ingleside/Lakeview), and I've lived in Mission for the past four years. I'm a good tenant and a good housemate -- responsible, communicative, no drama, tidy but not neat-freaky, with good credit and my finances in order, a stable non-profit job (come August, that'll be stable Financial Aid), and great personal references. I tend to stay in apartments long-term. I don't have to be best friends with the people I live with, but I like at least being friendly with my housemates -- watching the occasional movie or grabbing the occasional cup of coffee together. I eat meat occasionally, but I mostly cook vegetarian. Some weeks I'm out a lot, at events or teaching or doing performances; other weeks I'm home a lot, writing. I like having friends over to cook and hang out, but I don't like to bring the party/bar/club home. I don't smoke and rarely drink, but I'm not picky about what my housemates do as long as the house isn't Party Central. What I would love in a share situation: Queer/trans friendly, sex worker friendly, kitty-friendly, good sunlight, a shower with a tub, a maximum of 3 other housemates, room to store my bike indoors, and reasonable rent (for a share, $700 is about my max -- less would be great, too). Neighborhoods I'm potentially jazzed about living in include the Mission (including the Outer Mission and the border of Glen Park), Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, the Castro-ish/Dolores/Church Street areas, Potrero Hill, Hayes Valley, the Inner Sunset, Cole Valley, the Lower & Upper Haight, and South of Market. Pretty please ping me if you know of anything! I'm queershoulder[@]gmail[.]com.
