Pro & Con : Slum Apartment

Pro

  • Possibly affordable enough to allow me to have stable housing and a vehicle
  • Not my repair & maintenance nightmare

Con

  • Very stressful. Close neighbors, often loud and/or abusive
  • Probably means losing my hobby
  • Need to call landlord when problems arise. Nightmare!
  • Need to interact with landlord
  • I’m quite possibly at risk if I lose social services

I will add to this if/as necessary.

    Hi Paul,
    Just a quick comment to say this option would be very stressful for me as well. My husband and I may end up in something close to that, and just thinking about it makes me nervous. I can´t stand outside noise, it makes me jumpy, and I am extremely bothered by neighbors´ noises, activities and intrusions. I try to think I may get more used to it overtime. I try to remember that when I moved here this house seemed awfully quiet and I felt lonely and even spooked.
    Best wishes,
    Nadia

    Hi Nadia,

    I hope you get a place that is quiet and comfortable!

    Angel from the d/a group asked about you. Not in the group but in a private email. She misses you and is worried about you. I didn’t know how much you would want to share with her so I basically just said that you had very little computer time available and keeping in touch is difficult.

    Best wishes,
    Paul
