    Gone downhill

    I moved into a studio apartment in 2021. It wasn't meant to be my full time residence but it became so. I chose it because of the location and the cyride that stops right out front. Now it's like living in a really dicey neighborhood. People stand outside and scream in the middle of the night, I almost got run over by a guy in a hige pick-up because he was flying in at about 40mph, and I have to stay in the laundry room and guard my clothes or someone will throw them on the floor. And there are… only 3 washers and 2 dryers for my entire building because they refuse to fix the dryer. And if you don't like VERY strong cooking smells or the smell of marijuana, don't live here!
