My first apartment was an 1,100 square foot 2 bedroom palace. For 325 a month. That should have told me something. Insulation was nonexistant, the shower collapsed (while I was showering, no less), and the landlord took 6 weeks to fix it. The floors creaked, the water heater was so calcified that it sounded like constant explosions were going off in the basement, the holes in the walls were big enough to admit the usual mice and rats, but also gophers. I can report that gophers are highly entertaining when they are pissed off. I can also report that they tend to be pissed off 100% of the time when indoors.
Moving to the outside, it was, unbeknownst to me till I had moved in, across the street from a halfway house. Sometimes the inhabitants would stand on the roof and fire handguns down toward the street.
I can't say I miss that place.
