Seriously. Really?

Yes that is garbage. Outside 2 of my neighbors doors. Is this a new trend in apartment living? Too lazy to take to the garbage room but too stinky to leave inside their own door so lets just put it out here for my neighbors to enjoy. Do they realize that they, in fact, do live in an apartment building. A condo actually. Which is just a fancy word for a privately owned apartment. Most condo's have tenants, few are occupied by their owners. See, during the last many years this city has seen a rapid growth ...almost too fast but we were enjoying a great economy. It has a large retirement population as well as a substantial student population. There is an extension of the University of BC and a college. Then there is the tourism population. This is a tourist town above all else.

Real estate prices were/are still ridiculous here. Lots of investors bought into one or more the of hundreds of condo projects that were popping up all over the city. High end projects. Nice finishes ...granite, stainless steel, hardwood ...blah blah blah. But who did they think they were going to rent to? Sure there are many 20, 30, 40somethings in town that could possibly afford the rent that comes with such a nice, new, fresh and fancy condo. Since we do have a good sized student population ...these are the people who are renting these apartments. 3 or 4 are sharing a space meant for 2. Fresh from the warm embrace of their momma's bosom and free laundry service.

I am living in a $1400.00 a month frat house room. I am certain these kids are living away from home for the first time and exploiting the freedoms that come with that like a mofo. There are 6 - 4 floor buildings in this project. In the center of all this living is a nice sized seasonal pool and a volley ball court. Nice little grassy knolls and bbq pits. Can you say ...bikinis, muscles and hormones. Makes a gal in her 40's want to curl up in a ball and hide.

I need to move. I need a house ...with a garage - preferably attached. I need to not have to use an elevator/stairs to get to my truck.

I need to not have to see, scratched into the garage elevator doors, that "Amanda likes anal".
