<human>: We both live and work here. He's set on the one small area we've always lived in that's nearly doubled in price in the last 3-4 years. To stay in the neighborhood we'd have to take a place that doesn't allow my cat andor a place that's a tiny spot and all around lowly-feeling. I know this because I've been scouring Craigslist and calling rent signs long before we had to move, always trying to score a better place. I've reached out to 5 different rentals in the area in the last two weeks that were affordable (without being depressing,) and haven't gotten a single call or e-mail back, probably because they receive 50 hits the day those go up. This shit is really hard as it is, and going for a highly-sought-after area is way fucking harder. 

The area I want to move to "isn't the best" but affordable and not that different-looking than other areas when consulting the city crime map. I don't want to feel selfish if I "make" him live in an area he's not comfortable in, but he's not partial to any area other than the one pain in the ass area we've always lived in. We have good jobs but just don't make that much; I don't want him unhappy or uncomfortable, but we've got a wedding and honeymoon to make it to, furniture to buy, and a cat to take care of. 

The decision is ultimately up to me. He's going to go with whatever I go with, so I'm not going to make a decision unless i TRULY think it's the right one, which is going to be extremely hard to feel that sure about it since it concerns him too. I could realize later "huh, look at that, guess this wasn't the best idea, oh well," if it was just me, but it's the opposite when concerning him. I'd feel terrible.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: ] how can i approach apartment hunting with stubborn mindsets, high rents or "bad" areas, and still feel okay about it
