    Garbage trucks all night makes it impossible to sleep

    Title says it all. 1AM, 4AM, 6AM - constant stream of garbage trucks every night emptying tens of metal bins. Good luck getting any sleep living here.

    Plus there is no AC so have fun with your apartment being 90+ degrees during the summer
