Apartment Part 2....

You know you live in the ghetto when...

• Someones tries to burn down the building by lighting the recycling on fire.
• You come home from work at night and are surprised not to see cop cars outside the building.
• Despite repeated requests to fix repairs the superintendent just ignores the request.
• When they do come in to fix something the superintendent is genuinely surprised that you hold a job and are not home during the day.
• The water is constantly being shut off to do repairs... guess the repairs just aren't being done right the first time.
• In spite of the fact you pay your rent on time the landlord sends a notice that you haven't paid your rent on time and tries to extort more money out of you. Maybe it's because I'm not supplying them with drugs like most of the other tenants.
• The concrete starts to crumble and to save money the landlord uses green steel barriers to fix it instead of concrete
• They have to offer a discount for paying your rent on time because not enough people do
• But the biggest way to tell you live in a ghetto is when you come out of the elevator and realize that your neighbours door was removed courtesy of the police battering ram and the tenant is no longer a resident there
