I used to love my apartment complex. The manager and staff were always nice to my roommate and I, and if we ever had a problem they always tried their best. It’s a relief in a way to say that rarely has accessibility been an issue, which is why I’m reluctant to move. I’ve adapted very nicely into my second apartment, so I have no reason to move, except there are those rumblings…
\nWhen people whisper in my ear about this and that, and some of it is downright scandalous, my lawyer brain immediately labels it as slander and hearsay. It’s juicy, and it startles me. I would be slightly surprised if it’s false.
\nThings that are true: the gate hasn’t been fixed in over six months, and the apartments really look shabby. There’s more trash in the parking lot. I noticed a syringe in front of building 6 on Thursday. After I reported it three times, it was finally gone today.
\nThere have been more sirens in the middle of the night, but the patrol car that used to haunt the complex is MIA. My upstair’s neighbor had friends over two nights ago, and they were apparently robbed at gun point 500 feet away. Another resident had his car’s tires jacked. Now it’s standing on cinder blocks. According to M. last night there was a guy selling cds and dvds that she had just seen him steal from HEB.
\nWhy didn’t she report him while she was still at HEB?
\nI love it that the "red" leasing agent tells me that the gate will be fixed this week when I asked him. I’ve only heard that excuse 500 times. I think all the long term residents deserve a refund. Not for the false sense of security, but because it’s part of the package.
\nAs for moving, I’m looking but is anywhere safe?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
