Slow to respond to issues

Pros

Close to train Cheap for the area

Cons

Tons of stuff breaks (appliances, plumbing, heat, AC, power, equipment on roof) and they take forever to fix it Park next door is loud in summer Laundry exists but dryers don’t dry well and there are few machines, stains my clothes or eats my money almost every time No ventilation in bathrooms so they get gross
