Apartment blues, yet again
I have lived in 3 apartments in less than 2 years. In all three, I have had problems with the neighbors. Not conflicts of me vs them per se. But situations coming from them that end up affecting me. In the first one, there was a couple who kept arguing, and a baby crying all…
